Hi Guys

Thanks for help I too Measure them It is exactly on measurement 1165 cm long, from front leaf eye to center bolt and rear leaf to center bolt length exactly as L18_ b110 said , So there is nothing wrong with leaf only thing i have 5 leaf instead of 4 ,i managed to take it upto this level by changing the side of main leaf ,i thing there is a improvement but the sucle is not horizontal , it must have been there from begining i must have not noticed becaues i used 155R12 tires, Here it is now with 155/80X13 tire ,i thing i can manage like this because with the same setup i did not have ant problem earlier

thanks
regards

it's not possible that your spring measurements are the same, or the wheel would be smack bang in the middle of the wheelarch like mine is. It's got nothing to do with the size of the tyre. 155/80 is pretty much the same diameter as the 205/60 on mine, but in your pics they look smaller - like the stock 12" tyres.

your spring certainly appears to be longer than stock.

Are you measuring 1165mm along this red line?

well if the spring is the right length, the only way for both the back of the spring to be that far back and the wheel to be that far back, is for the front spring hanger to be all #OOPS#ed up.

Hi Guys

Finally There was no other option other than buying a main leaf but i am unable to spend 60$ on that since i have so many work on my 2 cars ,so i moved the center bolt an inch forward, now it right and center of it but leaf hanger is not vertical it is little horizontal that costed me 1$ only.

thanks

bad idea. with the spring being too long or too far back, your rear spring hanger can't allow for the spring elongation as it compresses. It's going to have some very hasty ride and handling characteristics and shag bushes quickly, maybe even rip rusted stuff mounts off the chassis...
