Can anyone tell me the best place to go to get the leaf spring done in Chch?
As i don't have the time I'd like to drop it off somewhere, get the job done, then pick it up. yeah yeah, it's lazy I know. Just finding the time is a mission these days. i don't mind paying the extra money if I get a good job done. You know how it is. Pete Munro quoted me approx $270 a corner (new) and $350 labour.
Any advice would be great!
Thanks,
Pete.

Btw. I'm still hunting down a 5 speed 2H (petrol/6cyl) gearbox/transfer case for the other fj40. :cry:

Thanks Jase. My brother suggested them as well. But I he told me they only take your springs. They won't remove them off your truck and reinstall them? I just don't have the time to do it myself. I'd rather someone else do it for me.

get a price for some old man emu springs, I paid $220 each (excluding GST) for my front ones and dont forget to stick some greasable anti inversion shackels in with them as well. You must have an ARB dealer down there.

$220 ain't bad. $260 a corner sounds about right then. But Pete Munro's won't have any FJ40 leaf springs in till next month. maybe I should just wait.
