Mitsubishi Canter 6.5 Spring Problems

[John Hancock]

Has anyone else had problems with the front springs in their Canter 6.5’s. I’m now on my second set which is costing me valuable down time, not to mention £600 for an up-rated pair!

 

Mitsubishi said the old pair has been overloaded which I find it hard to believe. Its also odd that up-rated springs are available because if the O/E springs were fit for purpose there wouldn’t be any need for up-rated springs!?

 

 

Now I’ve already cut down on the Mars-bars and kit-Kats so it can’t be me – any ideas??

have you tryed getting pattern springs made up could save a few quid

I used to have MG Midgets and had springs made-up for those many years ago. As soon as I sat my bum in the seat, the drivers side dropped and they were never level, it kind of put me off going down that road.

Try somewhere that makes coach springs, they can tailor them to suit, would also prob be cheaper.

I’m off to a weighbridge as soon as we get it back, laden and un-laden – should make interesting reading!
