Rear spring cushion cup
For 75. I removed the 9 leaf spring and it appears the cushion cups are swaged or otherwise permanently attached into the spring. What is the proper way to install new ones into the new 7 leaf replacement.
Does it even need to be attached or will it stay in place once the cushions and bolts are in place?
Any tips, tricks, or hints?
