Title: V8 rear spring(s)
Post by: mtgmike on August 22, 2011, 12:06:19 PM
I have one rear spring that isnt sitting right. I noticed the left side of my car is lower than the right. It was up on the lift for the tranny swap, saw this.

The lowest coil makes a much larger circle than the other side, no way to make it hug the conrol arm mounting point.

I've got a set from my '88 Sport, and they're not broken or cracked in any way. Just the black coating is peeling/chipping off.

I'll get you some pics if you'd like...
One or both, up to you...PM me if you want.

Mine had cushions between the spring and control arm.
