OT: F-350 Broken Leaf Springs
 

Any of you had trouble with these on your tow vehicles? My dually has a couple broken on each side:eek: (finaly found the source of my rattle). Now that I have to replace them does anyone know of a aftermarket source? BOOT?
BTW I posted over on the ford truck board and have had a couple of weak responses including "I found one in a junk yard that was the same lenth off of a van":rolleyes:
Thanks, Scott

What year do you have? Didn't they change the front ends in around 99?

i have a 99 f350 single rear wheel superduty ext cab 4x4 and broke both rear springs .

I have never seen it or herd of it on the newer tucks .....
We do a lot of heavy hauling . Probably more then a pickup should see . between our trucks and customer trucks we have sold to them ,(around 40-50 since 1999) ,I've never had the problem . Go to a good spring shop and have them made . Or just go threaten to sue Ford and get them from them !:D Good luck ...

What have you been towing that would have put anykind of weight or excessive travel on the springs ? JOE

You weren't out racing it in the "BAja 1000" were ya ?:D :D :D

121500 miles on mine about half of it towing and not a single problem....just looked at it this morning and everything looks perfect

1999 F-350 Supercab w/ powerstroke. Broken leaf springs on drivers side at about 80,000 miles.

WTF! I better check mine!

Thanks for all the info. I don't feel so bad now:rolleyes:
It is a 99 F-350 Dually the only thing I tow is the boat and that is not too often.
The noise was driving me crazy it took all winter to find it:crazy: I kept thinking it was a loose running board.
I will check out a local spring shop and see what they have to say.
Shocking that OSO gives me at least 8 replies that were worth something and the Diesel stop gave 2:confused:
Thanks again!

Scott, that's what makes OSO such a great site. One Stop Shopping!! For boats, trucks, sports cars, motor cycles, remote control boats, etc... Lot's of experts and experience here!!!
