Cracked Leaf Spring

Hey yall, today I jacked up my car and took the wheels off to clean them and also clean the calipers. I inspected the suspension and noticed that there is a massive crack in the rear leaf spring. I drive my vette everyday, and the weird thing is I havent noticed any difference in the ride.

I tried looking a replacement part but I couldnt find any part numbers. If anyone has it, that would be a massive help. My exact model is a 2016 Stingray Z51. Thanks!

Wow that sucks! However, glad you caught it before it let go all the way!

Give your VIN to any dealer and they can give you a part number.

Coupe, convertible, automatic, etc factor into it.

Just some of the front springs listed (Sport Suspension = Z51). This is just a sampling. There are more:

Do you use any type of wheel cleaner sprays? There were reports that certain cleaners can damage the composite springs.
