Re: 54 3100 leaf springs

I have re-arched a few sets in the past. I made a saddle fixture for the hyd press. Takes a while to get it right, but well worth the savings by diy.
I'm a machinist/fabricator by trade so it went well.

Measuring up from a perfectly flat carport floor, there is only 1-5/8" difference at the turn signals.
Amazing how so little looks so far out.
Thanks Gents,

Re: 54 3100 leaf springs

Hi folks.
I've found illustrations of the shackle end of the springs but don't see a clear view of the fixed end. Looks like mine may be badly worn. The spring looks to be nearly to the bolt. Is there a bushing in there that could be worn through 1 side ?
Looking for a clear illustration.
Thanks
