Parabolic Springs

#1 Post by Turtle » Mon Jun 29, 2015 4:31 pm

How can you tell if a series Land Rover has parabolic springs?
What is the life expectancy of leaf springs on a daily road driver?
Do they sag when a vehicle is sitting in storage for a long time?

Normally, parabolic springs will have 2 (front) or 3, sometimes 4 (rear) and are bent / tapered.

The standard springs are a "pack", sometimes up to 9 leaves.

Good quality parabolics will last you years but please observe you need shocks to match the new springs. Also, the vehicle wil be a bit different when driving.
