Technical CHASSIS, Reversing spring eyes...

!! That is the way I feel about a lot of things I hear..

 

Ha! I wasn't born yet!

 

Wait... Your roads are kinda rough up there? You are kidding me right? I think we will notch it. Were at that point, so why not right? Everyone is doing good Dale, just working away... You know how it is...

 

Havn't done it but I would think reversing the eyes would require heat which would do more damage than beating in it with a hammer. Just my warped way of thinking. Bob

 

.....Actually hammering would tend to harden it even more than spring steel already is; making it more brittle wouldn't it? Bending in a press would be better.....ya think?

 

........Think i'll shut up and go work on my car. lol Bob

 

Would this also work for rearching or flatting the arch in a sring?
Will this weakin the spring?

Thanks for the great info.

 

Yes- good, good info. Thank you!

 

Thanks for this awesome info.

 

Great thread that I came back to reference and found pics gone because photobucket sucks. Here they are rebuilt.

 

HEAT TO A SPRING IS WRONG. All work is done cold. Yes, your thinking is warped. The spring is tempered. Heat it and you remove the temper. Some spring repair can re-temper springs, but not many.
