no idea... i just dont bother fixing it, it happens to often... so i think one side of my car is like an inch shorter lol...
cut rear springs ftl
I've had this in 3 seperate cars now
using cut falcons, spring height anywhere between 200 up to 270mm (free) all held captive with short stroke shocks. sometimes when just installing them they will slip of the spring perch on the diff housing. other times they wait until i'm driving
now heaps of people run them and have success, why do mine always fkn pop out?!?!?!
at the moment they are actually installed upside down, as in the "flat" section is sitting on the diff and the pigtail up top. the weight of the car is squashing the pitail down to sit flat so it works, but its noisey (they creak)
any ideas peoples??

Hold them in with some wire. May work, may not, worth a shot though.
hmmm so its more common than initially thought
flip em Grant. ithought they were noisey, they aren't its just my diff touching my under diff exhaust as the springs are a bit high
yeah they never fell out of my car once or had any dramas, i installed them and took them out 8 months later without a single drama.

yea weve got the au springs flipped with the flat sides on the diff mount, and the other ends up top
yah i tryed holding them in with like 4 thick as zipties but they always brake and pop out, i always thought u needed adjustable panhard rod to make em not pop out.
i havnt had that problem with my 86, but what i did with my old car was drill a couple of 1/8 holes and thread a bit of fencing wire around the bottom of the spring so it sits flat. sounds dodgy, but doesnt hurt.
i run cut falcon springs, and 2 zipties either side, flat side of the spring on the diff.. never fallen out once.
i made up a bracket that bolts through the hole in the perch on the diff... its a right angle thad just stops the pig tail bit dropping off...
ftw
cheers tim
