[Spits] Rear spring with too much arch

[Andrew Mace]

The spring doesn't "care" how wide the rear track is, since the vertical links
pivot on their trunnions -- or SHOULD pivot on their trunnions. Perhaps seized
trunnion bushes in the vertical link/hub assembly is part of a problem?

  Possibly a long drive shaft spring from a 1500.
Two drive shafts on a Mk IV (mostly short)and 1500 (long) 1 inch difference
