| (3) I gather that rubber shackles are essential for tyre noise although I had discussion of this before ?Cff. The point about the spring eye (not clear in my last C.R.S) is that the shackle centre is 1 1/2" lower on the offside, away from the spring. An easy way to lower the new chassis front end is to turn the arm over, doing this is to reverse the eye.

It was originally a sales feature that got on the rebound. (5) They consider the electrical suspension to be worse than coupled with longitudinal torsion bars. | ||
