Rear sag, or a rusted or cracked leaf, can mean the leaf helper spring is worn. Before replacing it, look it over with the engine off and compare it with the one on the other side, since other rear suspension parts can cause a similar sag. Both sides are best replaced together; this listing is one leaf helper spring.
