[Spits] Rear spring with too much arch

[Cleobury Phil]

  That's exactly what I thought....
Then last year I changed my spit with narrow drive shafts ie high ride 
height/toe in - bottom of the wheels were well in ie  \ / - this had 
been incorrect for 10 years (having put in a new spring)   to long drive 
shafts and it went to near perfect ie l l -!
Go figure!
