[6pack] question about rear suspension

[Navarrette, Vance]

        Sloane:

        From the phrase "is still squatting a bit" I take it that it was
squatting before the conversion, and after the conversion the issue is still
present to some degree. I take it perhaps you hoped that new springs would
resolve it...?
        My guess is that your rear suspension bushings are shot. This is an
extremely common failure, one that is virtually inevitable even on low mileage
cars. Here is a hyperlink to an article on replacing them and adjusting the
camber: http://www.buckeyetriumphs.org/technical/Suspension/AdjRS/AdjRS.htm

        Cheers,

        Vance

Team,
My brother has just had new mid-grade rear springs and a tube shock
conversion
installed on his 73-Six. The shock conversion was the type that bolts right
on
to the existing mount points, I forget the name. His right rear tire is still
squatting a bit. It's noticable following him, and with a bubble level on the
center caps, it appears the other three are just right, but this one is out
at
the bottom. If I tried to state that with technical tire terms, I'd probably
use the wrong term. Any tips on what may cause this or how to adjust?

thanks,
Sloane :)
