Hi folks,
My dear M38 -1951 is leaning to the left .
Not counting that I have eaten lots of bacon lately, I will have to pound the springs.
Does anyone have the correct distance between the center of spring eyes for both front and
rear springs?
Front right fender is pointing to the skies while the rear left side is lower than the rear right side.
Tks

And remember that the springs have different pivot ends than MB, CJ2A, CJ-38, should you look for different springs. The pivot brackets on the frame are also unique to the M-38 Type. When buying springs, be sure to specify, the M-38 springs have the silent bloc rubber bushings on the pivot end.
