leaf spring bushes

Forum: 

i need to replace the spring bushes on my 1986 2.8 non turbo daihatsu rocky. what i need to know is, i know i can get them from milners offroad and eventhough is cheap is going to cost me a fortune to have them ship to my country ( panama city,panama central america ).

my question is:
1. what is the correct size for the inner eye let of my daihatsu rocky

softer,more flexible and less jumpy suspension

Forum: 

hello i have a daihatsu rocky with leaf springs all around and its kind of jumpy on and off road. i am having all four build brand new at a local place that knows about leaf springs, now my question is: is it true that i can install a coil spring between the axle and chassis to make a softer ride??????

coil spring conversion

Forum: 

i have a 1986 2.8 non turbo daihatsu rocky and i would realy love to have coil spring conversion because the riding on leaf springs is pretty jumpy and hard, my question is: does any body out there done a coil spring conversion, i am not an expert but to me sound pretty easy. please correct me if am wrong. its just a matter of fitting new coil spring mounts and traction bars attached to the chassis ( of course with the correct measurements and all ). please let me know all about it.

window problems

Forum: 

my daihatsu rocky 1986 has window problems, the window regulator needs to be replace ASAP, my question is: can i put universal power windows or at least can i put any other regulator or does it have to be for daihatsu exactly because if so am toast.

overheating

Forum: 

hi,my radiator blew tonight,water all over the place,i drove it a little way to get to a safe area,when the engine cut out,when i tried to start it there is just a loud squeeling,screaching sound,and the engine will not catch,it is a 2.8 diesel,also the fuel drain,and the battery charge light came on,ive checked for water in the oil and that seems fine,do you think it will just be the radiator or is there something more serious waiting to surprise me, any help will be appreciated,truewhite0.
