Reasons why Northwest Offroad sucks!
I`ve been having this noise over bumpy roads for the past 6 months and now I think I found it. While replacing my rear shocks I noticed this.
I put the spring back on, I have no choice until I get a replacement but it will not be from NWOR. I won`t even bother them about having this replaced. I`ve been in a similar situation in which the 1" lift rear leaf springs they sent me lifted my rear end 4". They would not take it back and insisted it was 1" lift.

Damn, Jboy.
How did that happen? I'm thinking about going higher soon in the rear. So that spring you bought was actually a 4" lift spring. But you were looking for only 1".

are those springs from NWOR? it's suprising the broken piece stayed in there.

The piece stayed put due to rust. I had to knock on the spring just to loosen it from the bottom seat.

i'd be pissed about the spring problem also i feel for you about the spring problems. i had to torch the heads off the front rear springs bolts on my 85 4runner when i put the 5" rear lift springs on it. rite next to the gas tank
i never had a problem with the stuff i bought from NWOR. i got a couple off the metal guide timing chain kits and the bracket to raise the torque rod on a solid alxe truck. it fit perfect.

Crash wont touch anything from NWOR anymore either. We've had bad luck with them and their stuff also I got tired of having to keep going back and fixing it.

I've never had a single problem with NWOR. Oh wait, the only thing I ever ordered from them is the catalog... :pat: Nice catalog though...

I've had them give me the wrong parts before, but when I took it back they apologized and made it right. There are 2 widths of U-bolts and they forgot to ask which size. I've also bought my steering stabilizer, pitman and idler arms there. Oh, as I think about it I've only had the idler arm for something like 8 months and it's loosening up. But they are always friendly and have taken back parts I mistakenly bought.
(BTW- I'm local so I personally walk in and buy the parts.)
