Re: [AMC-list] Front Suspension Coil Springs: How to Determine If Bad

[tom jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

I don't know if this is "correct" but the center of the lower ball joint and
the lower arm inner pivot should be parallel to the ground. When springs sag
the chassis sinks to the ground and the lower arm pivot drops below
parallel.

The arm itself is curved of course so look at the pivot points.
