Re:sagging rear leaf spring

When I have trouble with the dealer blowing smoke up my reverse of my front. I just call DC and get them involved, works every time.

As far as the dealer here, I did have a nice conversation with the attorney general's office just to get it on record. Tom

Re:sagging rear leaf spring

Well, I took both spring packs off last night and laid them out side by side. No cracks, even with magnification. Different arcs, though, on *all* of the springs. The sagging passenger side spring pack had a yellow "A" chalked on the mainspring. The driver's mainspring did not. (Not sure what that means -- did occur to my paranoid side that it was a factory mark meaning "Bad! Do not use!" Naw, can't be that unlucky.

) Have to think about what to do from here. I believe I'll try to get a new spring pack from another dealer and install it myself. GP

Did you find uneven arcs? Sometimes if a crack develops you'll see it under preload, and only because the spring arcs unevenly. What do youthink about the aftermarket springs? AlpineRAM

I have the same problem, but on the driver's side. I drive my truck at work every day, so my passenger side sees very little use(no passenger). Now, I weigh 175lbs soakin' wet, and don't carry heavy loads. So why are these springs sagging? Maybe inferior parts???
