Two weeks ago I was finally able to get my new (to me) Old Man Emu 2.5" Springs mounted and driving.
I flat towed the FJ40 that the springs went on about 60 miles and had driven probably another 50 miles in the FJ40 before that, somewhere in there my rear left leaf spring broke. The second leaf from the bottom broke in two..... The only reason I figured it out was because my left side was sitting appreciably lower than the right (~2")
The weird thing was that there was a small rock wedged between the second and third leaves.... It was the cause of the break as far as I can see.
I had not even used them off road or even done any flexing before it broke.
There are no spring shops in town and no one can tell me (locally) how to get this thing fixed.
Do I have to buy a whole new leaf spring from OME, or would a spring shop (somewhere) be able to repair it.... and HOW MUCH $?
Thanks
