Check the yellow pages in your phone book and find a spring shop that has been in business for a few years - check with them - they should be able to rebush the springs with no problems. At the same time they can also re-arch them to give you back the original height if yours are sagging a bit.

You may try browsing NAPA's catalog online. Got to

I think it says "Kaiser" on the page because I searched on it. I don't think it necessarily means the parts it returns are KF. Look at the photos it shows and see if it looks close.
