my mates isuzu mu sags on the left we have not found out how it could sag and when he went for a wof it was back up lol. also if material is fetigued then normally messing abouts with it dont makes it good again. He was going to get 2 secoundhand replacments but since it was back up again he left it for now.

WOW, just the answer the OP was looking for. Ask,s about a Plymouth, gets a story about a MU, not sure about the relevance of that.

I think you'd be happier with getting the springs reset more than adding overloads. Be prepared to find that the front looks a bit low when you've finished and have to have them done as well. Yellow pages or Google should help you find an engineering shop to do your springs.

What the poster is saying is, if you take the car for a wof the ride height will return to normal.

auld and voss in palmerston north used to be tremaine ave will not reset a shot spring like some do, if it is too far gone will replace leaves used them to reset springs on dairy tanker trailers for years, and replace any broken leaves, overnight turnaround for most ( 12hrs cooling in lime - sometimes took a box home of still hot lime with leaves in it, then got up at 3.30am to fit the spring so the trailer could be used that day
