Triumph Repair: 76 triumph Spitfire, rear leaf spring, car level


Question
installed new rear leaf spring,didn't see on spring any marking that said front,the drivers side of car sits lower since new spring is installed is the spring in wrong or could it be the left front coil spring.do you know of anyone that sells parts for this car?

Answer
Thomas,

Gotta ask.. why did you fit a new rear spring?   Too much rear camber already?

It's possible that you're due for new front springs.  It's also worth loosening all the suspension bolts then retightening them with the car level.   

As to people who sell parts for the Spitfire?   Look at www.VTR.org and follow the link for parts suppliers.   


Cheers,

Jim
