Russell:
Any chance there is a front coil spring installed on the rear?
The fronts are
much stiffer, and could cause what you are describing.
Count the number of coils on your two back springs. They should
be the same.
Just my SWAG, as always.

Once again I find myself with a problem that I need help with. The rear
suspension on my 73 TR6 works fine on the drivers side, but is stiff and
barely moves on the passenger side. I noticed last year it seemed to
have a
stiff ride but thought the dampers were shot. I got the great idea to
switch
to tube shocks (Ok it seemed like a good idea). The ride is better but
not a
lot. I have switched the shocks from side to side, had the coil spring
out and
cleaned up the mounts. All that has helped a little. I have also had the
rearend out and installed new seals and replaced the front mounts If I
jack
the rear of the car up the drivers side only hangs down untill the shock
stretchs out completely. The passenger side drops till the drive shaft
catches
on the frame. Which is an extra inch or more. Any ideas on what to
check
next. Everything moves freely its like the shock is holding it from
moving but
so did the original damper.
Thanks a million
