Recently bought hj60 and the rear springs were so saggy I know I had to do something to them to get the car tested/mot/whatsoever. Found a used ome kit locally in ok condition and bought it.
Now when I havent yet installed the springs to the car I thought it might be a good time to do a small overhaul. New center bolts, friction pads, lick of paint... I'm just wondering that while I'm on it I could do a light rearch if needed. Problem is I never have seen the springs in use, so I would need some measurements of new springs unloaded/of the car. If somebody knows the OME spring lenght eye-to-eye and hight from the bottom to eyeline I would be very thankful!
I realized another problem going through parts and cleaning them. OME greasable pins in shackles are very worn and I don't feel comfortable putting them back to car. I have also red horror stories of shearing pins. Would it be ok to drill ome shackles for 18mm bolts and run original rubber bushing with them?
I've tried searching through topics but I'm new to these machines and struckle even making up the right search terms...
