M38 leaf springs. Where to find?

Post by edmmatj »

The driver side of my 52 m38 has quite the sag and i believe is due to the sagging leaf spring. Does anyone have any info where I can find replacement. I dont need original parts just something that willl work. thanks a lot.

Take them to a spring shop and they can be re-arched.

It is quite normal for the driver's side to sit about 1" lower. The engine is offset to the left, the gas tank is on the left, and the driver is on the left.

I've been toying with the idea what to do with my M38. Restore that same sharp, rough, down right uncomfortable ride or go with a set of 1 1/2" to 2" raise after market units with great shocks and a like new ride.
