As is so common with "offshore " products I'm having ongoing problems with=
=20
the currently available rear springs, in particular those for the 100.
It seems that all the usual suspects source these from the same=20
manufacturer in India and it is my suspicion that these are made from=20
substandard steel.=20
Typically leaf springs are made from 5160 steel which is incredibly=20
resistant to deformation and fatigue. I don't have facilities to determine=
=20
what steel is used to make these springs but it certainly isn't 5160!!
Has anyone found a source for rear springs which last more than a few=20
years?
