<< Hello everone,
I have a question concerning the leaf springs of my TR3. I am rather
inexperienced about TR's in general as this is my firsttime to own one, let
alone try to restore it. Currently in the midst of disassembly, all the way
to frame, getting ready to sandblast. While removing rear axle and springs
I noticed a spacer of about 1/4" between axle and spring on passenger side
only( drivers side axle sits directly on spring). Is this the way it is
supposed to be , or do I have someting wrong?Thanks in advance for any
help.

Tr4's had a spacer on one side, TR3's do not. Don't know offhand which side
nor the wherefore's of this spacer on the TR4.
Perhaps a DPO trying to correct a sagging spring? If the springs are off you
could try comparing them side by side. There's some info in Bentley's on this.
Keep in mind, if you think at all they may be suspect, now is definitely the
time to do it. Not an easy task after the body & wings are on.
