Cure for leaning 91 fourtrak

Well ive found the problem as the last leaf snapped today and now the lean is very ponounced ah well it a new pair of leaf springs for me. Im considering buying a pair from Milners in Derbyshire all fully dressed poly bushes etc does any one have any better thoughts on replacment or hints on fitting.

leaf springs

milners very recommended, get a garage to fit them as the mounting bolts have a nasty habit of seizing up...... garage took 3 hours to get 1 off my sporty, (however he did say this was rare) , but it cost me £52 to fit both and £127 for springs, cheap deal if u ask me as he had my car about 7 hours .... best of luck

Removal of leaf springs

Well i took the leafsprings off today had to get the angle grinder with stone disc(the're thinner)to cut through the mounting bolts as ALL had seized into the void bushes i even got carried away and cut through the four u bolts who needs spanners just be carefull as the spring is still compressed.
I decided to do it my self well no garages open today and i was curious hmmm.

well curiosity satisfied only had one mishap a sheared nut on the lower shock mounting plate any one got a spare for sale or ill have to have a new bold welded in.
