RE: 4KCSQ Right Rear end SAG!!

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

I would get out the old tape measure, and check the bodywork for bent or
asymmetrical (fender-bender in your car's past?)dimensions. Measure the
diagonals of the trunk opening, measure the perch to underside of
bodywork height of both shocks, some measurements of the shock tower
tops, etc. I bet you will find some interesting data, the tape doesn't
lie.
