My springs have curved the wrong way.

Post by Courtancer »

My leaf springs are concave up, (which is how they were when I got it), and I've decided to finally do something about it. I've heard that this is a problem in some old Zooks. Should I just replace them or should I get them repaired? What sort of cost am I looking at?

Leave them and do a spring-over!

Yeah, spring over would be good for springs like those. They'd be super soft and flexy. You wouldn't have a whole lot of lift, if you didn't want it, but you could more than likely go spoa for cheaper than new springs...
My tires were rubbing in the front, so I trimmed the hood, and now they're fine...
