Rear Suspension

["Edward N. Burke" <newly@ix.netcom.com>]

After many trials and tribulations I was finally able to get the rear 
springs in.  Shocks were ok.  Put in new u bolts, bushings, shackles. 
The car sits noticeably higher now in the rear to the point of slopping 
down towards the front.  What a difference as far as the ride.  The rear 
steering problem has stopped and the car is a lot smoother on the bumps.
Would the front springs need replacement too if the rear springs were 
shot?                             Newell Burke 1973 MGBGT "Bigfoot"
