<VV> Pushing up the rear

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

Arend,
The shocks have nothing to do with the ride height... but yes, Mike  is 
correct in that the rear springs are different from each other in the  rear. I 
believe the left side is longer.
I replaced the springs in my 64 700 a while back... got the springs from  
Lon Wall. It's riding fine still.
The only other thing that *might* work is get some "spring spacers" and see 
 if that helps (if you can find such a thing in Europe)... but I doubt it 
will do  what you want.
Good luck!
Lonzo

I  believe, that replacing both rear springs and perhaps the shock 
absorbers  would go a long way to fix the problem. If I remember correctly the left 
and  right springs are different along with the transverse leaf  spring.

Who else has a thought to help?

Subject: <VV> Pushing up the  rear

Hi Guys,

my rear end, well actually the rear end of my  Corvair is a bit low, about 
1 inch lower than the front and i hit the ground a  few times with one adult 
in the back. Is there anybody who has a good idea to  push up the rear end? 
No, i don't want to use a jack because i think that will  ruin the 
roadability...
