StuartG Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hi All My TR6 seems to bottom out more than it used to over rough roads. I was wondering if the rear springs have gone soft and if so how would I check that ? Also it does seem to sit a bit low at the rear........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRTOM2498PI Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hi Stuart, Any pictures ? Rear springs can go weak. When were they last changed ? What springs are currently fitted ? Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuartG Posted April 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hi I have owned the car for 11 years and having looked through its extensive history file which goes back to 1982 I cant find any reference to new springs having been fitted. I will try and upload a pic..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also you need to check that the shocks are in good order. If they are the original levers there life span is very hit or miss. I have used Spax adjustables for years. First set lasted 40 years. I also have the CTM mounts for the Spax shocks which use the original mounting points. Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuartG Posted April 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hi Bruce Thanks for that info. The car is on original type lever arms. Doing the bounce test it seems OK. However it could be that it's all getting a bit old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
