Old Dave: there aren't many things I can chip in about but do also check the bushes and 'pegs'.
For some reason my old springs only had one half of the bushes installed so the pins twisted in the spring and wore away the spring edge and damaged the pegs. For my new springs I had new bushed fitted and reamed and new 'pegs' to make sure all was good. I used existing U bolts mainly because I didn't want to cut away the floor to get them out, but I did replace the main bolt as it needs to be removed to get the spring out anyway and the threads on mine were poor.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!
