    Thank you for your encouragement. We were faced with the decision to go all the way or not at all and decided on all the way... it costs work and money, but it's also not just any vehicle.

    We removed the spring assembly from both axles today. The pictures speak for themselves. When searching for a supply address in Germany, I actually only had hits for used spring assemblies, which in no way looked better than our own...

    Of course, not everything can go smoothly .... the nut welded into the profile of the cabin had come loose. I had to drill a hole to weld it there again, otherwise I could not have loosened the holder.

    There is always some gambling involved when taking apart 25 year old parts. Apart from one seal, there were fortunately no other losses here. We descided to order a complete new seal-kit for windows and doors. 1/8 of the frame is derusted - I didn't expect to sweep so much out of the shed...
