Low on the front left

Post by Jonte »

My D200 looks a little lower on the front left, but it feels OK to drive and no visible cracks in the leaf springs. What can the problem be? Just change chocks?

Probably just soft 40 year old springs. Might be time to replace them. :study

OK, thanks. Anybody who knows a good online shop that sells leafsprings for the D200?

If I were doing this, I would be sure to look at progressive rate springs. They ride much nicer as they are softer for empty driving. Pre 67 (IIRC) didn't have that, and thusly rode more harshly. Let us know how it goes. :Thumbsup
