Anyone know the mystery art of getting some of the arch out of some
used leaf springs ?

I thought it had to do with heating and cooling, but an old timer said
that the spring guys would just beat on them appropriately in the
right spots and they would straighten out. I would assume the
appropriate spots would be on the inside of the curve in order to
stretch it, but not sure.

I have an older truck with some broken and mismatched leaves up front.
The main leaves are fine... I just need to take some newer leaves I
have laying here and flatten them out a bit if possible.

thanks

Grummy
