|Subj: 1500 midget ride height
------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday, while taking the midget around the neighborhood for it's
inagural drive after the rebuild, I noticed that the drivers side of the
car is about 1" lower than the passengers side of the car. I was
looking throught some old receipts from the PO and found one for a coil
spring. I also found a receipt for a coil spring adjuster. The
question is: what is the correct ride height for a 1500 midget ? I know
the correct spring height, I'll check that today. IMy guess is that
with one old (1976) coil on the drivers side and a new (~'84) coil on
the passengers side, the tired coil is showing it's age. First I'll try
some coil spring helper inserts and then probably just replace both
springs. On second thought maybe I'll just replace both springs anyway
and be done with it.
But, if anyone can find the correct ride height it would be much
appreciated.
