Bob--
Q--Does the rear end sag more than it used to? Weak springs. If the rear
end bounces more than one bounce when you press down on it, weak shocks.
A--There is about 1/4-1/2" lean to left/driver's side (bachelor's lean?).
The rear end does not bounce/rebound at rest and in fact feels pretty stiff.
Maybe I start with springs--has anyone bought and installed new s[prings
recently from any supplier and what has been your experience?
Best--Michael Oritt
