Aftermarket leaf spring question

Post by flyology »

I am continuing the rebuild on my HJ61, at the moment I am cleaning all the front end parts up and getting ready to put everything back together.

I have pulled the spring packs apart, and there is a number of yellow plastic discs (approx 2 in in diameter) that fit into holes in the leaves to stop spring chatter. I would like to replace these discs as some are worn, but have no idea what brand the springs are, as they were fitted when I bought the vehicle.

anyone have any idea what brand the springs may be, and where I might be able to buy the anti chatter discs from??

thanks in advance,

MB

I think TJM also has yellow pads. Try Kings Springs.

Had to go into Cairns today, called into the springworks and got the anti friction pads for 1.20 each.

Thanks,
