Morocco - Problem with OME Leaf springs?
Hello,
We are in Zagora en route to South Africa. Have been on the pistes for a number of days, just done Chris Scotts M6 in Toyota HJ60.
However have just been at the mechanic (Mohamed Gordita) here who has pointed out that the top leaf of one of the rear heavy duty old man emu leaf springs is not running completely parallel to the other leaves. It does look slightly like the curve is inconsistent with the others and there is a noticeable very slim gap towards the spring mounting in the centre.
He has advised that this can cause the leaf to break on v rough pistes and he can straighten the leaf (with a hammer i think??)
Anyone know if this is a problem we should be concerned with, and if so is this a recognised fix? Cannot find anything on the internet about this.
Any ideas appreciated
Cheers
Andrew
