Rear spring going bad?
what are the signs of a bad rear spring?
the driver side of my car keeps getting lower and lower, so I keep adjusting it up. This is a HPDE track car, but with only 30,000 miles. 5000 track miles.
96 Z51 suspension
do these things just fail ?? or do they just get weaker and weaker?
