Broken leaf last winter. "Good used" leaves didn't seem to be labeled properly, and front end is sagging again. Tristessa should be reporting his new leaf pack instal any day now…

Do you know of "l" "R" distinction? Originals I believe were pre-stressed.

Bentley makes a fuss about the white paint dot being on the left for 1970 and up buses. No mention of anything for earlier cars. I usually see the pack weld bead on the left side as well...
