MQ leaf springs

[Chook350]

Hey all, got sum new springs from repco xhd raised, made by maxitrax. Only $89 each, put them in today, got bout 2.5 inches lift, much higher then my sagged old ones.

sounds like a bargan , do you know if they make them in 3-4inch. cheers scott

The catalouge only listed heavyduty raised and extra heavy duty raised, combine with sum longer shackles for more lift. i only hav the front in at the moment but with 31's i hav 6 inches clearance to the guard, guard trim, 2inch body lift are on the cards though need bigger tyres

[go piggen]

were did you get the catalog from (repco) and what is the ride like,how many leafs are on the extra heavy duty are they made in aus.

Every repco store has a maxitrax catalouge, doesnt list ride height thou, mine had baddly sagged ones in it but add a v8 and a winch she was almost on the bump stops, it rides alot better now. Only prob is since i put them in the cursed mq wobble is worse then is ever has been. Got to hav a sickie today so i can fix.
Have tightend wheel bearings, checked the tierod ends, relay arm, and swivel hubs, bit of play in the relay arm but not to bad, thinkin of remove a shim from the swivel hubs.
Anyother ideas???

Mate, get them front wheels balanced at a reputable joint!
cheers and good luck!

got rid of the wobble. tightend wheel bearings, redid the ubolts so there all even, and removed a shim from each swivel hub bearing, drives beutiful now. tyres are like new, done 3000ks balanced perfect when fitted.

do you just ask them to order them in for you?

how well do they flex?

just bought a mk got 33 claws to fit on a stocker, dont know much about nissans as to how well they will fit

anyway not sure on nissans again but cruiser need caster correction plates when being lifted I believe

[Chook350]

I had to order them in, cost a xtra 15 bucks had to come from sth aus. havent given them a real good flex yet, i am doin that tomorrow. not sure about the castor was ment to put it on the hoist at work and check but we been flat out, sold a heap of new cars, pd's and fittin acessories all day 4 the last 3 days. i am happy with the height and ride on road, the price is good just gota do the bush test. 4 a standard mq/mk if u remove a leaf or 2 it mite flex better,

sounds alright, please let us know how they flex, atm I'm interested,

pick my mq (sorry said mk earlier) up next weekend hopefully
