Hmmm, I would think that the alignment of the rear springs was a fairly
crucial item. Hate to be seen crabbing sideways down the road. I would
think the real parts would be pretty important in this application.
Wouldn't want to get a rep as a "DCO". Maybe if you showed the Moss
illustration to the shop that diagnosed the condition they could confirm
which parts were necessary. IMO...
Geoffrey Gallaway had this to say:
