front leaf spring rubbing
I have an 04 350 4x4.
I have been trying to locate a clunk and noticed that the front of the front left leaf spring is rubbing on the spring holder. Right side is OK with about 1/2 clearance.
What can I do to fix this?
Not sure that this the culprit but could be one of the few that I can think of. Other things seem tight, still looking though.
Thanks

Rubbing? if there is movement between the spring and hanger then there is a bad bushing. I change em' all the time on Mack trucks, so I think this is what your describing.
Depending on how long its been moving you may have worn other parts as well, such as the Hanger shackels bolts and such. Im also not sure if these bushings are serviceable on your truck.
Good Luck
