oh okay bro yeah im going to do that cuz the craking noise get anoying. but i just want to fix it

[sl1ck213]

hey bro i got a quik question? where your leaf spring craking? because on my zr2 s10 pick up i hear craking and i ben trying to find out if i need new bushings or a new set of leaf springs what do you think is the problem

[skiddy8619]

@sl1ck213 honestly the only reason that I had to do this was because the the leaf spring hanger rotted and broke. The 2nd leaf was cracked so i went ahead and fixed it. When I went to mount the whole spring setup I then noticed that the main spring on the passengers side was cracked where it makes the loop, so I just went and bought a new set.

But mine didnt make any cracking noise, if I were you i would jack it up to where you could see if there maybe some play in it. Let me if this helps

[skiddy8619]

@sl1ck213 hey i have a 98 S10 also, the springs on it are actually bent backwards. It might be in your rearend if it is making a clunking noise, make sure you check your u joints too.

what all did you use to make this little tool u got here??

[skiddy8619]

@91DAintegraB20 well I bought a piece of ready bolt 7/16 or 1/2 inch can't remember exactly, four nuts and some oversized washers. A grinder with a cutoff wheel, and an electric impact.

You gotta do what you gotta do.

[skiddy8619]

@talfacprez, pretty simple and inexpensive....long time no talk.....

[chrilla1980]

Awesome done bud....i use that metod sometimes too and it has always worked like a charm ;)

[skiddy8619]

@chrilla1980, hey thanks yea that did work pretty slick, but the idea of cutting the old out right besides the gas tank wasn't too appealing to me, but it had to be done.

so now that i have this camera figured out i can start making more how to vids, and the car jump vid that i promised you guys awhile back
