I think your both right and this will be my first course of action that I take to fix this dangerous condition. Also "kitcarbp" I like your use of the term "yaw" as I am a pilot and that makes perfect sense to me. In aviation "yawing motions" can have dramatic affects on aircraft perfomace and handling so now you have given me my first clue as to the extent of what all this means. I'll let you guys know what the outcome is. By the way, how can I tell what the spring weight is? Is it stamped on the spring? Also by loosening the adjustable spring, is that only going to raise up the rear end?? The car already sits higher than I'd like. Are springs universal or do I need a spring to fit my coil? Let me know what to do first and I can take it from there I think.. Thanks fellas again for everything!!
