Something does not look right here. In the first picture, I count five leafs along with a rusty u-bolt and a lot of threads showing. In the other pics, I count six leafs with shiney u-bolts. Hmm.
And Larry, if you are talking about the clamps that are aound one side of the spring pack, I have been told by a local, been in business since springs were invented outfit, that that clamp is basically there to hold the spring pack together for installation. If installed in allignment and u-bolts are properly tightened, the springs should not move. If they have moved out of allignment it is a sign of loose u-bolts. Or they may not have been installed in allignment.
I'm no expert, but that is what I have been told.
Peace
Dave
