<div>With new springs you typically have to use clamps to position everything it is not a simple bolt in procedure.</div>

</div>
<div>I would loosen or completely remove the u-bolts holding the differential to the springs.</div>

</div>
<div>I don’t remember the exact steps but I believe I would attach the spring front and rear mounts first, then take a large clamp and bring the spring up to the differential to attach the u-bolts to complete.<br clear="none">

<br clear="none">
I successfully removed the leaf spring from my 1962 TR3B.<br clear="none">
Cleaned things up, replaced fluid in shock absorber.<br clear="none">
The new spring had a little more curvature than the old spring (in image).<br clear="none">

Today went to put the brand new TRF spring into the car. Reattached to shock absorber and new U bolts.<br clear="none">
Aligned the fulcrum bolt (although did not insert).<br clear="none">
The problem is the rear end of the spring does not align with the shackle eye on the frame…see last image<br clear="none">

Help…any ideas…am I doing anything wrong<br clear="none">
