BJ70 LandCruiser Leafs Sagging

Postby joshjillings » Fri Oct 04, 2013 9:36 am

hey guys, i recently bought myself a very tidy 1990 MWB BJ70 4.2 turboed Landy.(profile Pic)

its had cobra leafs and shocks in it. it sat straight and level until i went on my first trip up thompsons track (didnt do anything too extreme) since then it was sagging, i wanted to replace these leafs anyway as they were very hard,

brand new OME Leaf springs have been installed and the vehicle is still sagging drastically to the right hand side, making me not even want to drive it now.

whats wrong and how can i fix this??

anyhelp would be appreciated

cheers, Josh

just a thought try swapping the springs over left to right

take photos and measurements before and after, that way you can say its either a spring issue or some thing else

If you have the extra leaves in the rear.. take the 3 or 4th leave out of each side and swap them to the other accordingly.. mine did that but I swapped some leaves ( can't really remember which but it worked a lot- don't touch the fronts..) and it'll balance a lot better..
