I JUST found out that I have a broken spring in my passenger side leaf pack, it's a '94 ranger XLT 2.3l 5 speed. I had no idea that it was broken, I was getting new tires put on and firestone did a free brake inspection for me and this is what they found, It doesn't act any different than when the spring was not broken, i thought i'd share with y'all. I'm going to pick up a set of explorer leaf packs tomorrow for $25, there are a few other problems and they quoted me $1,993.41, I, being mechnically inclined, am going to fix it all my self. My parts total = $178.93; their's = $1128.00; my labor = roughly $120 for 15 hours of lift bay time(if i need that much time); their labor = $722.68; my tax = nothing; their tax = 142.73; my total = 298.93; their total = $1,993.41.
Ridiculous.
here's some pics of the broken spring
I live in new york and haven't given the truck a bath since winter started, ignore the nastiness.
and the taped up line was the PO's doing, just havent gotten around to fixing it yet.
