Oops. It's not as "easy" as I thought. To get the left hand spring hanger bolt out you have to drop the gas tank. Does anyone have access to a service manual? I'd hate to drop it and break something off.

Also, while I was crawling around under the H3, I noticed that while the part number for the two leaf springs are the same, they're also marked with an "L" or "R". On mine, the "R" is on the left and the "L" is on the right. Could someone else take a look at the bottom of their leaf springs and, if you still have the sticker on them, let me know if your "L" and "R" are on the correct sides? Drew, could yours be reversed too?

I live hundreds of miles from a dealer and can't look under new ones.

Thanks!

I just found out that the gas tank skidplate can be dropped without the gas tank coming with it and the tank has a molded clearance groove to remove the spring hanger bolt. Cool! I'll let you know what happened and if it really works that way.

I think my rear springs may be reversed also? I'll check the tags and bar code stickers if the are still there.

My H3 leans to the left when looking at it from the rear?

I dropped the gas tank skidplate and sure enough, there was a clearance groove molded into the tank so the spring bolt could be easily removed. I swapped the springs, which were indeed marked differently. Here's what I found:

Right leaf pack part #15278386 RPN 1126

Left leaf pack part #15278386 RPN 1076

I got everything tightened down, lowered the H3 and voila! It STILL sits 1/2" lower on the left (although that's better than it was). I'm going to wait for the replacement pack I ordered and install it, as long as a left spring shows up.

I'll keep you updated.

Phil-

I only have one sticker left. Not sure which are the part numbers, but here's all of the identifying info on the sticker. It's on the driver side:

0457945

leafspring R 8386

What are your front height measurements? Is the suspension off there?
