Randey -
Sounds to me like your left side shock absorber has come loose. This is a
recurring problem on all Austin Healeys due to poor shock mount design.
Tighten up the shock mount bolts EXTRA tight, I usually push it to about 70
to 80 ft lbs or torque with a good quality spring washer.
Regards,
Alan
