Re: 86 Suburban w/ 56k miles

Well this escalated quickly. Every bolt was seized in the leaf spring eyes. I ended up cutting out everything. So! New leaf springs, hardware, and u-bolts are on the way. And can someone tell me what GM was thinking on the forward leaf spring perch, putting the nut in that little pocket? How is anyone supposed to get in there!

Here she is as of today. The axle is just laying there loose. I’m going to drop it off at a shop in town and have the pinion seal replaced while I’m in here.
