What This Leaf Spring Helps Address
- Rear sag from worn or weakened leaf springs
- Reduced payload support in cargo or passenger vans
- Excessive rear-end bounce or instability over uneven roads
- Uneven ride height caused by suspension fatigue
- Loss of rear suspension control under load
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify axle orientation, leaf count, pack thickness, and eye style before installation. Confirm the rear application against the vehicle’s suspension configuration for Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana models. Bushings are included, while mounting hardware is not listed as included, so existing hardware should be inspected and reused only if serviceable.
Quality Assurance
