[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4186687, member: 15054"] Well almost anyway. I have noticed the rear of my 1995 corolla was sitting lower on the passenger side while i was driving it. I figured it was the crown in the road. Not so. I hauled some 4 foot long Oak tree trunks in it a couple days ago and after unloading them the car was still sitting squatted on that rear corner. Looks like I have bent the mount that is welded to the strut that holds the coil spring. A couple years ago I put Camry front coil springs on the rear of this car. I can haul 2x the load I did before. Guess it is time to rethink the spring and spring holder. Almost compressed that holder to the point of resting on the top of the tire. I hate that strut design on this Corolla. Spring mount hangs over the tire by 3" and only about 1" of clearance so you can't really install taller tires. I may be able to find a smaller diameter spring and make a lower mount that does not rest over the top of the tire. [/QUOTE]
