Front Springs

[Albert Grattan]

Does anybody have pics of front springs assembly?

Putting back together front end

Is there any bushings that go in the front of the front spring hanger?

Pics of the front and rear of front spring hanger would be great.

Thanks again

This pic from the manual might help Bert...

Have you done a forum search on springs? They have been discussed quite a bit lately.

Looked at search but didn't really come up with anything, still looking though

Thanks

Apologies mate, I should have answered your question better - working the night shift and not long out of bed!

Yes there is a bush that goes between the spring mounting bolt and the spring eye. Just took this photo for you...

Hi Again

I replaced the Spring Inner Bushing ( Pressed in new one ) but was wondering if there is anything between the Tabs on the frame and the spring itself? It just dosn't look right.Seems to be alot of room between the frame tabs and each side of the spring.

Do you just center the spring as you run the bolt through and keep it centered?

Thanks again

I think all the bushing(s) are threaded on the inner wall of the frame 'brackets'. When those bushings are threaded in, I think you center them with about 3/4 " clearance and those bushings keep the springs where they need to be. I'm headed for church now, but will check mine when I get home. I will be reinstalling my springs this next week so I need to know this also.

I just centered mine, no room for much of anything else and the parts book shows nothing there either.
