houston.. we have a problem

[SGHOM]

I may need a lift to a multi-million pound house with a fault on one of the ring mains. I wired it, so It should be easy to suss. [ probably something they've plugged in ?? ]
I'll try & keep Kieran out of the swimming pool !! but now............... I gotta get a taxi to the hospital to see mum.

Is there is a chance that maybe the spring is catching on something and isn't going the whole way down on that one side? It's the only thing I could think of

Galant rear springs do NOT fit on legnums !!

[Paul Beazer]

On both sides or just the one?!

[You See]

Galant rear springs do NOT fit on legnums !!

On our NZ workshop day, we managed to swap the suspension from my Galant over to Jaimz's Leggie without a prob....we did swap the shocks as well (not sure if it'll make a difference)

[bradc]

Jaimz's car did end up being very very low though, the wheel arch was almost down to the top of the wheel rim, covering almost the whole tyre!

No difference to how it was on mine with factory alloys tho.

I think it got a little lower than yours in the end, the back just kept sagging with the extra 50kg or so.

Which is which ??

answers on a postcard !!

[Wodjno]

Which is which, what ?

The spring on the left looks like a standard leggie spring. The other 1 i'm not sure ? It doesn't even have a closed end

Edit:

Looking again, i'm pretty sure there both
Leggie springs. The 1 on the left is the rear and the right is the front !?!?!

half correct glenn.
The one on the left is a standard leggie spring. the one on the right is from Barry's saloon ! same height & thickness, but a couple more coils ??

[ritch_w]

the one on the right doesn't look progressive, or have the loops closed..... has it had a couple of coils chopped????

[BraindG]

The one on the right is mine?

Not that I am aware off. So cos its a leggie, and possibly used to cart heavy things around they gave it a few more coils?

[ritch_w]

On both my previous V6 saloons and they looked like the one on the left. - progressively wound
Just had a peek at mine and they look to be progressivly wound too even though they are ralliart springs.

thats why i think the one on the right is either been chopped (cos the tops and bottoms dont loop to a flat circle) or they could be after market - but i doubt it
