Re: just bought my first sj samuri :)
This guide here will show you most of it... you can do it without taking the entire spring off but its probably easier to take the whole thing off

Here's some pictures of the damaged springs, the hole that now has got a hole going all the way along the arch, the external arch after I removed it and some new springs what came with the truck.

Re: just bought my first sj samuri :)
That u bolt appears to be made from bent studding
Replace that and any others like it.
The front spring mounts have been chopped
And spaced away. Is the front axle bent?
Id revert back to stock setup up front as thats a
Pretty shonky spoa set up.

Re: just bought my first sj samuri :)
oh great :/ thought I would have just had to change thesprings and bolts :( oh well more of a challenge. sorry where can you see the axle is bent? and does this mean I need a new axle or how do I go about it? sorry Fairly new to all of this! oh and alos I do have new 'u' brackets that are brand new, I will have a look at them tomorrow and see what there like.
Re: just bought my first sj samuri :)
In your second from last piccy the axle casings looks very
Bowed.
Have the front wheels got a lean to them?
