Uneven Leaf springs.

Hi everyone,
Just one quick question.

When i changed both of my rear leaf springs i put on the drivers side first and didn't touch the passengers side. I left it like this for one week driving it as little as possible. When it came to the weekend again i did the passengers side. When both were on i noticed that the passengers side was higher than the drivers side((the one that had already been on there a week)). Do they break in after a while or did i do something wrong?? :confused:

Yup. They will "settle in". Give 'em a little time. Thats a big deal when guys put in new front springs- they don't wait a week or so, go ahead and cut a coil or two out, then the car sits ALOT lower then they ever wanted. :yes:

The pass side should settle in.

usually when you purchase a set of rear leaf spring and if you measure the arch, they won't be the same. typically the one with the larger arch is put on the drivers side to offset the weight of the driver and with the assumption that the drive is the only one in the car most of the time.

Aghhh ok thanks everyone. Ill give them time to break and settle in.:yes:
