new spring has arrived. Looks REAL good. The only thing is some surface rust on the metal ends. I sanded and shot them with a coat of paint to protect it a touch.
Battery was dead, so I had to charge it before pulling out... so the hard part has been delayed until tomorrow night. |

spring is on! all fixed!
The final damage: 1 spring 2 brackets 4 bolts 1 bushing 1 washer 1 spring bolt is bent 1 muffler knocked off, no damage done. I cannot image the energy released when that spring went!! |

Question:
How much should I worry about a bent spring bolt? the big long one is bent about 4* and I am worried it could break. |

Why risk it? You know the metal has been compromised / fatigued if it was bent.

Not so lucky... the new set is due on on Monday from MidAmerica! I ain't taking a chance after the last experience.
Now... if the dip shits at Ecklers would acknowledge my complaint... |

I came to a basic conclusion... that damned little washer held up for at least 4 to 5 days before giving up... I think a bent bolt will last at least that long...
mass is on my side here! Monday is d-day. |
