I was Adjusting my brakes yesterday when I noticed something that might be the reason for my suspension issues. Shouldn't the springs pull the trailling arm back up ↑ towards the subframe instead of hanging ↓ there loose as buggery? Thats what they are supposed to do arn't they?

I read a while ago that I should get some second hand non streched ones... I'm going to Sydney soon for new year so I should be able to pick some up then.. can anyone suggest where I can get some from? ... price?

Cheers fellas.

the springs should be very tight, so tight that it is a real struggle to get them on. Its a 2 person job to put them in if there good ones. I think most mini wreckers will have them, try mini spares at padstow.

Awsome thanks for that. I'll call them up soon and see how I go, and then ask a mayte to help me put them on . I took a photo anyway... just cause I could..



Cheers

There were 2 types too, the later ones (coloured orange) are stronger & better.
