Hi,

Just got rear springs fitted on me 2A stw. Clearance between block and top axle 3 cm, spring is flat.
Replaced, all bushes, kept to the manual.
looks like a lowrider.

any one for help, tips,?

springs: Left side: 272968 8 leafs, right side 272967 8 leafs.

sounds like ****part strike again
or are they missing the two assistor leaves

If I knew what assistger leaves where, i dould tell you

****part it is indeed. ;(

If ya used ****part bushes take one of the springs off and remove the bush and shackle, assemble the bush and shackle outside the spring and place the shackle into a vice, torque it up to the required poundage then grab a set of gas pump pliers or stilsons and I think you'll find the outer casing of the bush spins on the rubber bush. Had this myself recently and found this to be the problem.

Bought 2 lots of these recently from ****part and they've all been the same, Return them to where you bought them from they'll be happy to exchange or refund you for them. I've ended up buying the genuine ones. a couple of suppliers are already aware of this problem as I've emailed a couple of them.

If you look at the bushes themselves on the ends they are not rolled over the rubber which pinches and prevents them from slipping, you'll never be able to set them.

Send em back and speak to Paul Stone at GB Springs - same price 100% satisfaction - and handed to suit the landy's weight distribution!

All,

Thanks, will get in contact with GB springs.
