Um, like, how much do you weigh? Just kidding. I couldn't resist. :-) Is
it an even list to the drivers side from front to rear? Or is it only
pronounced at the rear? That may narrow it down a little. I was wondering
if the frame was "square" but you said it has "slowly developed". Here's
another thought. Did the list begin before you replaced the springs or
after? If it was after, its possible that one of the replacement springs
may be defective and weak and is starting to collapse a little.

Subject: TR6 tub tilt
Worldly Scions,
My daily driver TR6 has slowly developed a tilt (or list) to the
driver's
side. I replaced the rear springs with Moss stock springs (red and
green
stripes---does that make sense?) and replaced the trailing arm
bushings
with poly (SuperPro from Ken at BFE). The mounting brackets are
positioned
the same way on both sides (notches facing up).
However, the driver's side is still lower than the passenger side.
The
distance from the frame (where the trailing arms attach) to the
ground is
5.5 inches (140mm) on the driver's side and 6.375 (162 mm) on the
passenger side.
I'm stumped and turn to the worldly scions for advice.
TIA,
Cregg Cowan
