Ok, my rear springs on my ITB swift are very short and stiff when compared to stock. Essentially they just sit there on top of the lower suspension arm, with the top pressed up onto the body (stock placement obviously...)
When I jack the car up, even a little, the rear springs pop off the body and lean over to one side. If I try and lower the car, the springs hang up and do not seat back into original place, so I have to reach in and place them by hand before lowering.
On track the inside rear does not lift like on some FWD's, so I guess this hasnt caused a problem yet.
Should I worry?
Also, I had a fellow swift racer (BMW master mechanic) fabricate the front camber plates/strut mounts. He used a large bearing in the mount for the strut's pivoting movement. I now have a car with such effortless steering that there is no feel. Almost like a cadillac with over-boosted power steering.
Any suggestions?
