Leaf Spring Issues
Well, to say that I am pissed off is an understatement! Upon closer inspection of the leaf springs, it would appear that all Dunbar did was push in new bushings and spray some paint on the outside. The hardware was not replaced and neither was the teflon wear pads despite being told that they would be changed out. I decided to take one of the leaf springs apart and sure enough, it was rusty on the inside. They didn’t take them apart at all. It looks like I will be calling them to see what happened.
Additionally, I found that the driver side rear leaf spring hanger is bent. I noticed that the spring appeared slightly twisted when looking at it from the front and rear. I took a measurement from the frame to the outside of the hanger and noticed that it was ¼” different than the passenger side, so it looks like I will have to source new hangers.
