That is not good. The tyre should be centered in the wheelwell. Inspect the U-bolts attaching the spring to the axle housing. They may be damaged or loose.

Hi Guys

i Removed one side of the Leaf Spring to see whether i have fixed the front to rear side ,
i don't see any mistake like that 3 point suckle to the front and 2 pin suckle to the rear
as of this picture,
The reaason was when i jack position (Green) to attach Leaf Spring to U Bolts, rear Spring Suckle is moving Upward(to side of Red Arrow), Any body know what is the reason ?
How to Correct that issue ? Do i need to Remove my differential to correct this

thanks
regards

I assume you must have put the leaf spring in backwards. The large spring eye goes to the front.

Hi L18_B110

I also Thought that way i removed it and set it backwards then it is worse

thanks

then you must not have located the diff on the spring properly. The pin/bolt through the leaf spring goes into the middle of the diff's mounting plate.

or it's possible you've reversed the front spring hangers but I doubt they'd be offset enough to move the wheel that far back.

Can you remove the wheel, then take photos of the spring & spring mounts?

It looks as if the locating bolt that the spring perch sits on might be too small or not there. This is the bolt that holds the spring pack together, & the diff housing should sit on top of it. If you don't get it on, the diff will slid backwards & forwards with each application of brake or accelorator.

Hi Guys

Here are some snaps taken out , look at the Spring Moved Back image when i jack up the spring
Spring Eey Moves Back , even if i put it with the suckle it self it is going backward up like this
so the wheel position comes to the rear side more ,

any body can give me lenght of Leafsprings exactly ?

thanks
regards

B210 leaf spring is 1165 mm long.

6-leaf spring pack is from a commercial vehicle or older car. Sedan should only have 4 leafs. Does the other side match it?
