Too low on the rear axle...? Asking for help.

[Hurvinek]

Thank you very much for your answers! I will ask Mrs. Dunford as suggested.

Happy Easter to you all!

Hi Hurvinek

I hope your springs come out easily. I had the opposite problem an 8” camber spring which should have been 6” camber.  The car was too high at the back. Despite a few journeys around and about with all the bolts loosened I had to resort to a sledge hammer on the end of a piece of 30 x 30 box section threaded through the chassis rails.

Here are the two springs one that came out, a Dunford one that replaced it…..and what the hammer did to the box section.

Thanks again for all your advices! Apparently this is a common problem that occurs on every Austin Seven sooner or later. Now I know that too...
