Leaf Spring Re-arching on the West Coast

[Eric F.]

Does anyone know of a reputable shop on the west coast that can re-arch leaf springs (1954) the proper way; such as that done by Eaton Spring in Detroit? Years ago there was a place in Seattle but now the only place left I can find uses the cold force method, which will most likely fail after use and time.I'll send them to Eaton if I have to but I'd sure like to save time and shipping money if possible.Thanks in advance.Eric

I sent my spring from the Boston area to Eaton to have it re arched. It really wasn't that big a deal and the turn around time wasn't too bad. The only problem I had was Eaton called me and said the spring had too much pitting on it to re arch.
