Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply. I agree with what you say about needing the springs overhauling. And also about the left hand lean; I suspect having the personnel heater on the left side isn't helping either.

What's the consensus among the MLU folks regarding re-arching 60-plus year old jeep leaf springs? A look on the web didn't really help. Has anyone here actually had it done? And if so, how did it work out?

Thanks!
Owen.
