I’m driving a Series 3, 1975 petrol swb that was originally a RHD vehicle but converted to LHD. The leaf springs were not swapped over and I understand that the right hand side springs are different to the left hand side ones to compensate for weight etc.
The landy has the usual lean, in my case on the front left hand side/driver’s side. The leaf springs don’t look like being knackered, but to cure the lean, I might just as well get new ones or should I just swap them over to see if the lean disappears ?
I know parabolics are an option and they are not entirely ruled it but they’re more expensive.
What are the leaf springs from Paddocks like, any good ? They are not Britpart are they ?
Someone recommended you could renew both the left and right hand side with the ‘stiffer’ springs, is that an option or should I stick to the original set-up with weaker spring on passenger side ?
Lastly, if I just swap the springs over, what bits would I need just in case, like bushes nuts and bolts ?
