Rear end - sag to the passenger side

[Bagherra]

I noticed a slight sag (maybe an inch or more) to the passenger side on my RR when looking at it from the back. From the front it looks fine with no sag.

I was wondering what could be causing this. Spring problem?

Spring is loosing it's arch. It will never loose spring rate, but can loose it's arch. Due to all those heavy footed launches.When the chassis flexes and tries to raise left front the right rear takes the weight. Over time looses height.

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but...
is it something to worry about (other than how it looks) or fix?

Thanks!

If it looses enough ride height it will lower the weight on that wheel unloading it on take off. Look at SS springs. Right side slightly higher than left to add to right rear traction. Look under the cal tracs vs. c e slide a link bars at some of the suspension tunning I've been helping them out on. It will exsplain some of this stuff. It's under drag racing.

Hey man, thanks a lot! I appreciate it.

I should be able to make that and I'll bring the wife.

She likes smelling like gasoline after a nice long drive in the RR.

[dwc43]

Cool! Look me up before you come down. We can hook up at or before the show. Fill you in on any motels or directions you need too. The more mopars and mopar people the better. I'm going to put my RoadRunner in it. I'll check on the car club url Sun. at our metting. I hope it survived after our officers got elected. I know the newsletter changed and it bites now.

I'll do that!

After seeing your above post, I told my wife that my birthday was coming up in a couple of months and a mint 426 Hemi RR would make a great present.

[dwc43]

Oh crap ... I bet I just started a fight or a good laugh one ....

[dwc43]

Bagherra here it is. The new url is www.musiccitymoparclub.com


It is still under construction. I looked and only got the show info and Bills number. Mark it in favorites and give it a few days or so.

E mail me at ******************** and give me your address. I will send you a flyer and early show entry fee form. The Hot Rod Power tour starts in Nashvill at Gaylord Opryland center and make it's first stop in Mephis. May 30 I think. I wont to go down 65 as far as Colunbia and call it my trip and circle back home. It might go down Natches trace though and that's a pretty site to see. If interested let me know and I'll get you those details too.

[Bagherra]

You have mail!
