- More F350 suspension work: Sway Bar Links • 2000 F350 Replace Sway...
My 7.3 Powerstroke has been making a lot of suspension noise and the ride has been a little rough lately. To fix this I am replacing the front leaf springs. This ended up being a full day job for me because I have never done it before. It is not terribly difficult and will improve the ride, the noise and increase your ride height a little bit too. #powerstroke #ford #diesel #leafspring #fordsuspension #fordleafspring #diymechanic #73powerstroke
Super useful thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for stopping by.
Great video, I did not care for the music. Had to put closed captions on and mute the sound.
Oh no! Thanks for letting me know.
@@RLAutomotive-rwl3 It's a me thing. I know you put a lot of work making the video.
Which brand did you buy? Model springs?
I ordered V code springs from General Springs KC. I know X code springs are all the rage but they are stiffer and so you’ll sacrifice ride quality and I didn’t want to do that. They had a sticker on them saying Made in Indonesia.
Why cant you just remove the 2 big bolts that go through the brushings? Why do the brackets have to come off?
Steve, I’m camping this weekend, so I’ll check when I get back. But from memory, those rear bolts are too long to pull all the way out. I think they hit the exhaust on the passenger side. Just seemed easier to take those brackets off. Are you gonna do this job too?
Steve. Getting back to you with some properly researched answers. You are correct about the rear brackets. But the front brackets, at least on mine, are positioned so that the bolt heads are in the inside next to the radiator. So the front brackets definitely have to come off so that you can pull the thru-bolt all the way out.
