banshee, why are you so harsh? I just read this and another post about rear leaf height issues and you called the installers incompetent and novice
I said in another post that Jon is referring to..
"The problem lies with a novice installer who can not install a leaf spring the right way (f/r) or preload them properly. I am sure if there are problems, take the same car, springs and hardware into them and watch them CORRECTLY install their products in front of you".
For those of you who have tried and failed in anything that you can not figure out, the statement is true. Had it done to me after I couldn't get a trans to line up.
Jon,
If you have installed five sets of leaf springs, are you a novice or expert? Neither. When it comes to dealing with why I am so harsh, if you have a comment about it, send it to me privately.
And where in this thread am I harsh? If you have not been around long, that is the way I am...direct, to the point.
Been like that since this boards inception in 2000, member number 5, owned, restored and built 14 67-8 Firebirds. Qualified, yes, so if you can not take my direct personality, take a number.
Changing leaf springs is straightforward? Not necessarily so. Even after changing 5 or 6 sets, I became stuck on an issue similar and had to enlist help of competence.
