Thanks Shedman - just what I wanted to see - top job :)

I really appreciate this vid. I have recently been given a t350 and I found a very similar crack. Now I know what I am in for.

Thanks for posting this, really appreciate it

[@themetalmicky]

top video , well done sir

[@handlebullshit]

Had mine fail just like that on both sides. Hard braking and the rear axle shifted rearwards. Took about an hour per side with some struggle and i did cut most U bolts.

Great Video. If the local garage quote too much I will do the job myself. Leaf Spring on ebay = £100 each. Best to change both if one has broken.

just got my transit a week ago and knew it would fail MOT but it needs more than I had bargained for-2 leaf springs, 3 brake pipes, suspension mountings front and rear, sills, disc worn and a wee oil leak to finish it all off. Apart from that it's all good . Enjoyed your vid Shedman-will just need to get my finger out now lol

Sounds like you have your work cut out , that's a more than cost and work enough for anyone . Best of luck, work safe. regards SHEDMAN

[@smith6640]

@@shedman1014 got all the work done courtesy of my mechanic son but sadly had to sell it to recoup costs so never got to drive it for more than half an hour in total. Loved every minute of it and will hopefully get the chance to own another one in the future as they are brilliant vans. Keep your vid up Shedman for I will no doubt need guidance in the days ahead. Cheers

What size is it because I have a t280 2.2 same shape and on eBay they are either 60mm or 75mm not sure what that means and how to measure
