That's what I think, too. Once upon a time in 1969 I gunned my '69 Javelin going around a corner in NW Portland with a 300 pound truck driver on the passenger side and I managed to make a figure 'S' on the back end of the right side leaf spring. It was a permanent condition until I fixed it and later put in a booster leaf and taller rear shackles. ______________________________________________________________ Ralph Ausmann - Hillsboro, OR - > <ralph.ausmann@xxxxxxxxx> http://mysite.verizon.net/res79g4m/ ----- Original Message ----- From: JOE FULTON To: AMC/Rambler owners, drivers and fans.

That's my take on it at least. I don't know why AMC decided to do it in 1970 though. Joe Fulton clipped>>>>>>>>>>> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
