Recently had issues with my rear suspension (on my car!). Took it in somewhere where they stripped the lugs on one side (torqued to TR8 specs, doh!), then stripped the hub getting the lugs out. After they replaced the hub, I backed down over a curb and from that point have been having all kinds of problems. The driver's side sags so much it ripped the edge off of the tire. I replaced the spring with an uprated one from BPNorthwest (had an extra leaf). Backed out, and cut the edge off of the tire I just replaced (ugh!) as it sagged back into place. Found on the teglerizer site a refernce to needing to torque after lowering the car ( https://www.teglerizer.com/triumphstuff/new_trunnions_and_jacking_hints.htm ). Would not doing this cause the issue I am having? I noticed that the wheel seems to have excessive cambre (bottom further out)on the driver's side only : "/ |". I jacked up the car and it was ok to drive back into the garage - seems like it slips out of alignment (!!?) when I back up. Any ideas? Nothing underneath looks damaged. I guess next thing to do is loosen everything up, lower the car, and torque it back down, but one more full evening working on this problem without benefit may make me insane. Thanks!
