Re: IML: Springs n things

Starting in 1957, the rear leaf springs are suppose to have a slight 
reverse arch. If this is changed, the angle of the drive shaft changes 
with it. I posted information about that and the corresponding 
adjustment in another reply to this string. Read on.

I just did my 57 and went with the HD springs and tossed the air shocks 
they always leaked anyway... 
I carry four passengers most times and seem to always have a trunk 
full.... 
The springs always seem to sag after a time and as our cars sit for 
long periods of time, why save a few bucks now and need to redo them 
down the road... 
just what I do anyway.
