I have been chasing a problem with breaking shocks. Two Blingensteins in less than a year, left rear, '95 Disco flipoff2 lifted a coupla inches, yadda, yadda.
Went wheeling last weekend. Although I didn't break anything, I did have aproblem with the left rear spring unseating after EVERY stinking obstacle!!!
There is no obvious deformation of spring perches, nor the axle housing.
I'm looking for thoughts on whther I should retain the springs, or if I should weld in some cones, and is this just dealing with a symptom of an as-yet-undetermined problem elsewhere.
I have a set of cones, but no MIG. Stick welder seems unwieldy for this job. If I go with retainers, who has good ones other than EE, I'm leaning toward the ones from EE but wonder what else is available.
