Again many thanks Mike...always great to tap into fountains of hard won knowledge.

Mr Keith Webb also assisted me at length to come to this conclusion..

Hopefully be able to post more progress soon..

Happy to help, Tony.

Keefy, of course, is a fountain of hard won CMP knowledge: toooo many years taking pics and making observations. Needless to say, our wives despair when we get together: too many 'nuts and bolts' in the conversation for their liking!! We, on the other hand, have a great time!

Diagnosis was correct with a sagging right front spring being the cause of the Chassis lean.

Went out to Hillston on the weekend to consult with the great fountain of Ford knowledge, John Mackie.

We came away with a lot more questions than answers however...it seems that every different model of Ford of the era had a spring of different length and width.

Firstly, here are the specs from the repair workshop manual.

Second photo shows Khaki 2wd spring and Rusty 4wd spring. As you can see from specifications it cant be used as it is not wide enough.

Third photo shows why I cant use passenger side spring either...

Third and Fourth photo confirms widths of springs

Shock absorber connecting rod was missing this side. But after getting a piece of rod threaded it is now back in place.

Just need two front leaf springs - has anyone got any spare???

possible to rebuild and set up as you want, old springs may also be different heights. they can soften or adjust to your needs, the c & f 15s always ride a lot softer than 15As.
