Dave and I were looking over my Nav and he noticed that my factory leaf springs were as straight as an arrow. I became concerned: a week short of my big trip (yes it's back on, and it's changed - no more New Year in Narrandera) and I've got a possible suspension failure - and I'll be towing 1,800Kg for over 4,000km.
All the leaf springs I've ever seen in my life were curved, like a smiley face.
So, without further ado, I went to my dealer and said "Hey check this, am I going to be able to tow with my leaf springs like this?"
The sales guy (who's quite knowledgeable, and not ashamed to get the service manager's advice if he's not sure) said that he thought it looked normal.
Okay, so there's another pair of D40s in the yard ... we checked them both out, including one that had only just had the plastic wrapping removed.
They were all dead straight.
So, with a lifted heart, I headed out and I've only just now remembered that I should post about it.
So, how's your leaf springs?
