Does anyone know of a dealer carrying NOS front springs for an M37? Time to bite the bullet and get some that aren't flat.
Thanks
Rick

I'm not at all familiar with your neck of the woods but you may have an area that would have a spring shop. For me it's Denver Spring. The springs on the M37 6X6 were starting to flatten out quite a bit and there is the effort to take them apart and beat on the backside with a big hammer. Strange, but it does work to a degree but is cheap and time consuming and physically exhausting. It wasn't much money and the spring shop dis-assembled them, re-arched them and installed new bushings, for far less than new springs at the time. They can even make a new leaf if you have one broken. Now, several years later, the bushings are showing some wear and I need to replace them. Mr. Linn had some but I believe he is now out. If anybody has some or knows where to get some spring bushings please let me know. Thanks

I got a pair from VPW a couple of years ago-solid product.

That's springs AND bushings, by the way....

We buy from McMaster-Carr & Bearing Distributors & Drives in Charlotte, NC. Both are excellent sources for spring bushings. I wish all parts were as easy to come by.

I've bought from them before, I completely forgot about them. Thanks for the info.
