Jeff,
I have a 78 that had the same problem. I either had to invite someone
along for the ride (over 175 lbs) or purchase new springs. I selected
the later !!!
On the level,
Mike

I've recently acquired a '79 Midget that sat for about five years and
has
been brought back to life through the tremendous efforts of my local MG
mechanic. The most critical issue remaining is the pronounced lean of
the
car on the driver's side (at least 1.5 inches). We re-arced the
driver's
side rear leaf, but that proved only about 50% successful. As funds are
low,
I would like to avoid experimenting with spring replacement, more
re-arcing
or spreaders. Can anyone help me accurately diagnose a problem like
this?
Thanks!
