Did the torsion today

[Phil H.]

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:

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

I just checked my leafs and the one marked R is on the left and the L is on the right...

I only have one sticker left too.

Looking from the rear of the H3 the left spring has a sticker thats say "Right"

My torsion bars are marked correctly right and left.

I can't believe that many people wouldn't know right from left?

Could it be the springs are put on the frame when it is upside down??

[Phil H.]

My torsion bars are marked "L" and R", too, and are on the correct sides.

I looked at some new H3s on the trip I just returned from and found that every one I looked at had the leaf springs marked "R" and "L" on the correct sides.

Maybe there are more than a few of us with the springs reversed?

some of the guys must of been looking from the front and some from the rear when they attached them to the frame i guess they finally got everyone to face the frame from behind

[Hmmm2]

This probably sounds dumb, but can you view the stickers on the leaf springs WITHOUT going under, or without lifting it? Of course, mine is still at the dealer while they TRY to figure out the problem .. but I'm wondering if when the leaf springs were put at the factory, if they either judged left/right while looking from the front back? When I get mine back, I want to try to find my stickers, or, at least take a look while it's still at the dealer and ask them. Does anyone think it makes a difference being in reverse, if they are in reverse?
