I've been tempted to use these to clamp down the right side springs on my
Westy slightly, to get rid of the usual 'kitchen lean'.  It seems like
it'd be easier than shimming the springs on the left side, like some other
people have done.  I have this nagging worry that the clamps will set up
stress concentrations in the springs that will eventually break them,
though.  Anyone know for sure whether these clamps are safe?  I expect to
be driving on fairly rough roads, on occasion.
