QUESTION
Hi John,
I have an engineering question regarding resetting ute rear leaf packs. Some say they can be reset, and even reset to original height after they have sagged a bit.
I am questioning this if it is possible after leaf springs become worn/settled in. Is it possible that the leafs can be heated, thus resetting the height, or is this FaceBook mechanics talking nonsense.?
