Hi,
I need to replace the original single leaf springs for my Sportrak. Where in the best place online to buy, are there any points I need to look out for when doing the job?
Any advice greatfully received...
Cheers

Checkout the above thread for assistance.
I think a reasonable place to buy springs is Millners...a link to their website can be found at the top of the page under 'parts dealers'
Sportrack leaf springs
Go to Milners in Derbyshire. They don't do the single spring, (no one does!) but a 3+1 leaf set. You could take one leaf out if it's too hard, but it probably won't be.
A complete spring kit, including bushes, shackles and pins is £48.25 per side,(or was in January 2004)
They also do replacement gas shock absorbers, (non-adjustable) at £30.00 each.
Deliver following day if you order before 16:00. Go for it!

Sporty leaf springs...
Thanks for the advice. I ordered a set from Milners and they arrived yesterday - guess what I'll be doing at the weekend!
I've put the polybushes into the springs - they're tight but a little washing-up liquid made them go in fine (old trick from the bicycle handle bar grip days).
Lurch - I could do with a manual for the torque settings. Ho do I go about buying one from you?

Workshop manuals
You can buy the workshop manual from Lurch via this website, go to http://www.daihatsu-drivers.co.uk/node/view/166 and choose the one you want.
Hope that helps,
