Listers,
Another problem on the Spitfire which I never noticed but someone
driving behind me stopped me and alerted me about. The left rear wheel
is at a noticeable worse (slanted out at the bottom more) angle than the

right rear wheel. I've replaced the rear shocks and leaf
spring.  It's a bit scary when you look at the car from the rear and
compare the 2 angles of the wheels. Also there seems to be a pulsating
noise vibration from the left rear wheel.

Any ideas what could be causing this difference in angle and would the
pulsating/vibration (vibration at speeds above 45 mph- pulsation can be
heard at low speeds when coming to a stop) have any thing to do with it.
