Standard Auto Spring Works
Re-Arching and Spring Rebuilding
Re-arching and rebuilding can be useful when the original spring pack is worth retaining and the spring material is in suitable condition. It is not the right answer for every worn or damaged pack.
Representative spring work
What you may notice
Signs worth having checked.
- The vehicle has gradually lost ride height
- An older or uncommon spring is difficult to replace
- The original spring configuration should be retained
- One side no longer matches the other
- The pack needs more than a simple hardware repair
What we look at
The inspection goes beyond one part.
- Spring material, corrosion, cracks and previous repairs
- Original arch and side-to-side measurements
- Leaves, clips, centre bolts and spring eyes
- Whether replacement leaves or hardware are required
- Whether rebuilding or replacement is the sounder option
Good to know
The spring pack must be inspected before we can confirm that re-arching or rebuilding is appropriate.
