Hey Irv,
Even after I separated the axle, I still had some compression in the spring,
the right side had none. I guess over the years the 'ol girl has had some
sagging here and there. I think i have sagged in a few places also. I don't
notice anything obvious; however, i did have to add an aluminum spacer to
the right side to get the car to "sit " straight.
Always appreciative,
Jack '74 Tr6
