Default Re: roadster front spring problem

If I remember correctly the with of the spring should be 3" shorter than the perch bushing holes. Center to center. Here is a picture of my 31 tudor that is worn and needs bushings, a new spring and maybe new perch pins if the bushing holes are egg shaped. Please notice the nut on the bottom of the perch pins. Yours are driven up past the cotter pin holes. I would completely disassemble the axle, start from scratch and check all measurements, replace all worn parts. This front end has never been apart. IMHO
