[Healeys] ride height

[Michael Salter]

Hi Gary,
If the measurements provided were made on a truly accurate flat surface the
problem is not entirely with the rear springs as the left rear corner is
low.
If a car is straight when one corner is low the opposite corner is usually
high.
On that car I would start by swapping the rear springs side to side to see
what the result is but with the left rear being 0.75" below the left front
when the right side is level something is kittywampus.
