Hey this is my first post! I did some searching before I posted this. I didn’t see anything about this so sorry if I missed it elsewhere. I was cleaning up my front leaf springs and preparing for a bushing replacement but I noticed this bend in the pack. I know these springs have a factory negative arc when installed. What I don’t know is if this bend was factory? Maybe to correct pinion angles or something? The other side has the same bend. Does anyone know? Personally I think it looks incorrect and probably should be replaced but I might be wrong. Thanks for the input.

Looks fatigued to me. Flat ok, but that’s a kink. And welcome to GMSB

Springs are sprung. Get new ones.

If youre looking for stock replacement I found this company a few months ago and bookmarked it for when I wanted to buy springs. Never did business with this company before though.

Looks like the springs are worn out and the kink is caused by axle wrap.

Thanks for the recommendation. I did see them doing a search. I also was looking at eatonsprings.com. Does anyone have any experience with them?
