In preparation of removing the front suspension I have started by loosening bolts of the front springs and disconnecting the drag link. I didn't have a large screw driver, so I use a piece of steel strip and a wrench to get the plug out.
I noticed the spring clips on the right Front spring all have a hole in them just under the bolt. It seemed somebody extended the clips by welding a piece onto them and than I realised the right spring has one more leaf compared to the one on the left. The parts manual shows both springs to be the same, so I have yet to investigate why my truck has one extra leaf....maybe one leaf is broken or the driver was just a heavy bloke???
