Default Re: Canadian guys lower their ‘41 Merc rear

Without some kind of rear track rod it'll handle like a Labrador on linoleum. My 41 did. Not that I was doing any fancy driving, but a gusty crosswind could get very sporty.

Too much sideways movement from long shackles and you will scrub into the sidewall on the rear tyres when cornering. Don't ask.

Eventually I reversed the eyes and de-arched the springs. Guess I just had to learn he hard way. Nice spring spreader BTW.
