While we are on the subject of swing spring suspension (at least we were a
couple of days ago), I have a question - If, with a swing spring rear set-up,
all the roll stiffness of the car is provided by the front springs and
anti-roll bar, how is it that it is the rear spring that is responsible for
the typical drivers-side sag seen on most Spitfires with elderly springs?
More curiosity - How does the camber compensator work? With all this
discussion of its relative merits, I could follow them a lot better if I knew
how it worked!
By the way, if this message gets through, it means that I have finally sorted
my message submission problem. For all those who have forwarded messages to
the list on my belhalf over the last month or two - thanks!
Richard Gosling and Daffy (sagging to the drivers side - but fixing that is a
long way down the list of her various needs!)
