Problem with leaf spring mounting

[lutry]

Hi there,
I have changed the bushings of the front leaf springs, getting them out was not a big deal.
But now I am facing a different issue:
I put the spring back in, but I do not get the spring center pin in the correct place of the axle.
The axle should be moved 1/4 inch back to get it fit properly.Just push it back or is there any other advise?
Thanks

Changing bushings have no effect on the axle location, the distance from the spring pivot bolt to centering pin better be the same on both sides. If the opposite side is tightened down, you could loosen it to move the axle on to the centering pin. Doing a retorque of the u-bolts after a short drive would be a good idea also.

This sounds like a great idea, many thanks!

Lifting the other side was the deal, everything went easy.
Thanks again.
