If the rear shackle collapses flat against the trunk floor, does that mean that one or both of the studs on the shackle plate have spun? They're just a press in splines like a wheel stud, if memory

The shackle is pushed back flat against the boot/trunk floor. The front of the spring is still attached. The spring appears unbroken. Thinking that I would take a stab at a quick repair to GFT SPRT

Normally, it is the length of the top spring... Are you very sure that it is not separated in the middle like my MGB did? If the spring is the same as my 1972, I have a spare you could use during th
