That last trip to Martinez flattened my 4.5 lift rear Passenger leaf spring. Greg was telling me that it could be repaired. I was just wondering what can be done and what a better option is, Repair the leaf (rebending it) or replacing.

I suppose some springs can be bent back into shape and retempered( and will hold shape) but I also supose that some springs will just sack again- as the quality of the steel isn't that great or they're just too far gone( and retempering won't bring them back).

At least that's the spin some spring shops will spout. I suppose it has a grain of truth in it.

"Climate change is no longer science. It's politics... Climate change is also about power. Power to control.... It's about who gets to decide: how much energy we will have... where that energy will come from... what it will cost... It's about simulations, scenarios and monsters conjured up by computer models that should never be used to chart government policy -- especially on matters that will profoundly affect our livelihoods, living standards, life spans and dreams of a better future.

"So hold onto your wallets, and hope you can hold onto your homes, cars and jobs. You're about to be put on a wild political roller coaster."
