Hi All,

Just finished the R&R on the spits rear suspension

New spring, busings and KYB shocks helped the saggy rear problem with the car.

Put new pics in the gallery to show the change

It went so easy that I am sure something else is ready to break.

Haven't had it out for a drive yet. Found the lock screw for the points is stripped and want to fix that first.

As far as feel though. prior to the fix, I could feel the rear sag when I sat in the car. Now I can't feel any movement.

Hope this fixes some of the banging noises I heard in the rear when I drove it last.
 
Another one of the 'saggy bottom boys' has left the building.
 
Fun job, isn't it? :laugh:
 
Couldn't wait to get the dizzy fixed and went for a spin around the block

Huge difference in the ride. Got rid of that bad camber issue also

The shifter is working great after the rebuild.

now back to the dizzy. may have Jeff completely overhaul it for me.
