Nice video. I was looking at a control solenoid and the part number is CB5E-9E882-AA. The prefix CB5E doesn't match up with anything in your video. Do you know what that means?

thank you old wise white man, you have saved me much tribulation and time

I don’t know how I ended up here, but that was well made, funny

Thank u

Hi all, According to DIN and IS standards, springs made from wire or rod with a diameter above 16 mm should be hot coiled due to specific reasons. We have consulted with several manufacturers who claim they can cold coil springs using wire or rod up to 30 mm in diameter. Could you please advise if springs made from wire with a diameter ranging from 16 mm to 30 mm using the cold coiling process would be as effective as those made using the hot coiling process? I look forward to your valuable suggestions. Best regards, Johny

Duh!

Can you explain why you cut 1 inch worth of spring to get a 2 inch drop?

Tempering is to soften the hardening steel. Why after that you do shot preening?

Excellent video , keep up the quality work . Fantastic to see a quality product fabricated by tradesmen that take pride in their work . So many companies out there cut every corner possible to get the product out the door and quality & durability suffers . Maintain the old equipment , it's time proven , the simple things in life are best . 👍✅🦘

So brace the diff then with rods to the chassis..

I cannot find hydraulic shocks now. Every offering under $100 per shock are gas charged. EVERYTHING at Summit, everything at all the local auto parts stores, everything everywhere.

Great video for a wannabe trailer fixer like me. Thanks!

Are there any cons to using heavy duty, but not really needing it after all.

Thank you sir

What is the name for the oven, i need something like that oven, or a supplier of them

Where's the mentioning of powdercoat has to be stripped to bare metal to powdercoat, thats literally the main thing.

Some say don't re-torque u-bolts because they're designed to stretch and tightening them repeatedly stretches them too much and eventually weakens them. The recommendation would be to double nut if loosening is a problem.

What about longevity? Which will last the longest? A suspension rebuild is a pretty big undertaking, would rather do it once and be done with it for as long as possible.

Why would I have to fight my car on the freeway with oversteering as a result of lowering my car front and back?

I’ve lowered three different vehicles of mine using blocks, one was a Mazda pick up truck, the second was a 54 Chevy, and the third is my current 59 Ford galaxie. Each of them have been in the 2to3 inch block height The galaxie is the only one where I am having axle winde up problems. Why would I have problems with this vehicle but none of the rest? and lastly is there anything I can do with the materials that I have to keep the rear end at this hight.

Finally a video that’s quick and simple and the tells you exactly what to do and what not to do

DAMMIT WHY CANT I HAVE BOTH

Ih ave 69 Ranchero and it sits 1" higher on the left rear side. My leaf springs look fine, do I need new springs? Or can one side be blocked up?

I'm getting ready to start a 4x4 conversion on a class C RV, do you guys make custom leaf springs?

My center bolt was installed the wrong way and I had to flip the center bolt because on a 2000 Chevy S10, the axle sits on top. Dorman by the way. So keep that in mind, someone, somewhere in a factory making minimum wage or less not putting it together correctly. Was on both brand new leaf springs and I'm not going to flip my axle.

Is CZcams channel coming back.

I truly appreciate experts putting info online. I have one tiny, no major grip! Older vehicles are not designed to use gas shocks. What is older, 1990's, 1960's, 1930's? I have a 2001 Chevy express 3500 is that older????

Thank you, excellent video.

Your graphic shows a fully assembled leaf spring when discussing Powder Coating. Is that how you do them? If so, it's not surprising you get rust between the leaves after 2 years?

They also need to be the same distance from the front eye on each spring So vehicle tracks correctly

I changed the blocks on my 2007 Silverado and I want to know how tight the u bolts are.?

I have a 1997 ford ranger and the rear end feels very soft but I just replaced the shocks and it didn’t change how it feels. Would it need new leaf springs?

Are leaf spring steel flat bars vacuum degassed quality steel?

Is it normal to have some difference when it comes to the wheel-to-fender gap? I have a 2017 Honda HR-V that I use as my daily and that I recently had suspension parts replaced (including tie rod ends, rack ends, lower control arms and ball joints, shock absorbers) and I only just noticed (after 7 years lol, not really sure if this was a problem before) that the left side has a shorter wheel-to-fender gap compared to the right side. The difference at the front is around 1/4 inch or 6.35 mm and the rear is around 1/8 inch or 3.175 mm from my measurements. For the record, the car rides relatively fine after the replacements.

so adding 3 washers under the nut means you get all new threads

I need to raise my rear suspension vehicle chevelle any ideas

How bad does it affect the ride if you cut the spring to those specs?

Thinking of doing this, can’t they pop out?

A decade later you taught this dummy something new. Thank you,

looking for front spring for 1947 lincoln continental--do you have one thanks

I have a small carry on utility trailer. It seems like if I try to come close to the torque specs it bends the u bolt plate and bolts too. I have 2 diff torque wrenches and both reading normally/same.

I hope, for the sake of humanity, this youtube channel is Ai generated.

Thanks for the information cuz on my trailer it is backwards. The head is on the bottom and my axle is on the top. I could see my axle crooked on my boat trailer

Great how the hell do I get the bolt lined back up in a new leaf spring

That torque chart is bogus

Then why does my passenger side mirror on a 2019 Ford explorer limited say gb53-17682-eh6aPF

Why didn't you mention they were made from Delrin?

1000hp cars running blocks what bullsh.t.

With an isolator rubber pad, I can't get to 65 ft lbs it's just smashing the hell out if the isolator pad.

Does this torque spec change when using a top isolator pad?
