[TR] Tr3b suspension

[Erkan Hassan]

 Thanks Randy,
Last night that is what I did and it worked.
I attached the rear shackle first then was able to get the front pin in...mostly.From there I jacked up the spring to the axle and attached the U bolts.
Buttoned everything up and now it is time for the other side!.
I tried the way the manual says first and that's when I ran into trouble...I don't know why it is so wrong...probably it is replacing the old springs rather than installing new ones after 60 years.
Thanks for your helpErkan

With new springs you typically have to use clamps to position everything it is not a simple bolt in procedure.
I would loosen or completely remove the u-bolts holding the differential to the springs.
I don’t remember the exact steps but I believe I would attach the spring front and rear mounts first, then take a large clamp and bring the spring up to the differential to attach the u-bolts to complete.

Hi all,

I successfully removed the leaf spring from my 1962 TR3B.
Cleaned things up, replaced fluid in shock absorber.
The new spring had a little more curvature than the old spring (in image).

Today went to put the brand new TRF spring into the car. Reattached to shock absorber and new U bolts.
Aligned the fulcrum bolt (although did not insert).
The problem is the rear end of the spring does not align with the shackle eye on the frame…see last image

Help…any ideas…am I doing anything wrong
Thanks
Erkan
