Subject: LG45 front springs

---

I seem to be having rather a lot of issues at the moment.

I had my leaf springs re-tempered some time ago. All fine. Put the front ones back on. Fitted the wheels - the front bumper is loosely on - I then noticed the left front wheel was nearer the bumper than the right. As far as I know they are the original springs.

A little of this is due to the bumper bars which I can rectify. However not all by any means.

I loosened the axle so I could measure from the peg the axle locates on to the front spring mounting point. Not easy to measure with any accuracy but the left peg is about 1/4 - 5/16 inch nearer the front than the right.

Measuring to a point on the axle itself it's pretty much equal. Not a relevant point I know but this suggests to me that these things were not made accurately and perhaps it doesn't matter?

The only way I can see of correcting this is to move the peg hole in the main leaf. The peg is a bolt right through the stack of leaves and this would move the rest of the leaves back in relation to the main leaf.

Any views, suggestions welcome.
