Sagging bottom :-)

TANK · Nov 18th, 2008, 22:20

Hello Gents
My 240 estate, 1992 2.3 has begun to sag at the arse end, is this caused by old tired springs or shocks? what can i do to get her back to her normal ride height?
any advice welcome
Thanks

Tired springs can make this happen . If you buy new springs dont worry when the old ones look longer than the new ones .

Thanks for that Stiggy, why would the old springs be longer than the new one's?
would have thought it would be the other way round?
