Free length rear springs
Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2015 8:40 pm
2 questions:-
what is free length of rear springs?
how are springs held on to beam axle?
I plan to remove the rear axle to clean off the excess rust etc so need to know how much clearance I need under the car to slide out the axle, ideally WITHOUT the springs!
the mount for panhard rod has already been removed, rejuvinated and can be removed again to allow a 3" box section to be slid across the rear to keep back end off the deck without relying on the jacking points. I feel the jacking points are OK for wheel changing but don't fancy the whole back end supported for a fair while and more so if underneath!
