Hello all,
I'm wanting to correct a problem with my rear trailing arms that has been
present since prior to my frame-off.  My wheels slant inboard at the top.
I've read that late model TR6s used a one-notch bracket near the outside of
the car, and a 3-notch bracket on the inside - and these were present when I
acquired my '6.  However, I'm now wondering whether my problem is that I
have the inboard bracket (3-notch) turned wrong side up.

When I originally removed the brackets from the frame, they were both
showing with the notches facing up.  Since I added new springs, bushings,
..., I figured that the brackets really should have the notches up.  Now
that everything is new or refurbished, and I still have the issue, I'm
thinking that changing the position of one or both brackets is my answer.
As I look under the '6, I've talked myself into the idea that if I turn the
inboard bracket around, I might fix this annoyance.

Would anyone with a later model '6 that has decent wheel alignment without
the "squat" be able to help me?  Please look at how your brackets are
situated and report back to me.

Thanks a bunch!!!
