Leafs settling or bent?

[dhogan12]

Was rotating my tires yesterday and got a good view of the shape of my driver side leaf spring after Blazer bash. Is this normal? If so should I expect it to settle out? Or is this something I should be concerned with? I have texted a few friends and their opinions range from: "You are fine" / " If its bent like that it could snap at any time".

No. Hit that spring with a hammer, on the side. Listening for dead sounding steel. You may have a broken leaf in that stack.

If one spring is flat and the other is an S-shape, doesn't that imply you turned the axle tube?

Too many horsetorques

Passenger side looks the same.

Well come to find out, my passenger Driver leaf perch was bent/collapsed

The one cast into the pumkin?

That was easy. For me.

We have replacement GM D60 perches that are boxed for just that.

Not so easy for you, that's kind of a crappy job.

Thanks Stephen! I have them ordered and on the way.
