Front 88" Springs

Thanks all, I think we've come full-circle now.

Had my local guy do the springs (we're showing the house for sale so I'm not allowed to get anything dirty!) and I just picked it up. Big difference. I'm now looking straight out the windshield instead of leaning over and looking up! It looks like its nose-high about an inch or two. Hopefully a few days of aiming for bumps and man-hole covers will settle it down a bit. I instructed him to leave all the fittings a bit loose, hope he listened.

Thanks for the feed back.

Please give us an update in a week or two, when things have settled themselves in.

The rover is laft hand drive, has two fuel tanks. right now it sits level. but leans a few degrees one way or the other with one of the tanks empty. In the past when it did lean, I switched the front/rear springs to compensate for the lean. had to do that on a pair of progressive weight springs. I don't really understand why rovers have such a problem with springs. Seems like a bit of lean one way or the other is almost par for the course. and it drives some folks crazy ( including me). remember "it's just a rover" enjoy, it could be worse. ROVE ON, bobzinak...

Thanks for reminding me it's a rover thing, mine leans to the right when parked. A RHD 1972. It doesn't bother me when I'm driving, just looks weird! Not worth worrying about I hope!

I ordered two of the same number, and at this time, with a half tank of gas, it sits nice and level.
