I’ll be keen to see how this turns out. How is the speedo driven?

Had a little issue last night on the freeway.–  The end of the left front spindle broke off.   So a question since I have the front end apart can I get away with removing any of the torsion leaves to soften the ride if I have cut and turned the tube during construction as per the instruction manual.
