The rear spring was certainly part of the problem, but whether it was responsible for the whole problem will not be ascert; /html/spitfires/2001-05/msg00035.html (9,894 bytes)

The body also leans heavily to the driver's side, and a bit to the back (i.e. driver's side rear quarter is the lowest part of the car; passenger side front quarter is highest).

Let me see if I can explain it at all. Lets start with the rear spring. We'll use a simplified spring, with just one leaf that breaks completely; /html/spitfires/2001-04/msg00391.html (10,698 bytes)

You might try simply swapping the left and right spring+shock assemblies. It's a lot easier than replacing the springs, since you don't have to mess with a spring compressor; /html/spitfires/2001-04/msg00432.html (8,390 bytes)

Take it out, lay it on a flat surface, it should be "flat". If not, turn it over so that the drivers and passengers sides are reve; /html/spitfires/2001-04/msg00435.html (8,714 bytes)

If one side is high, when you flip it it will make the other side low, and you will be back where you started.

But if there are other things wrong as well, it may just compensate. It is a cheap fix if it does help!!!
