Dismantled the rear suspension to detail it a few years ago during this project. I did scribe a line gor the spring plate angle but this looked to have been lost when the inner arches were re coated. Went to re index the spring plate and dialled in about 34 degrees. A bit too high do went about 30 degrees which looked just a bit too low so I thought to split it at about 32 degrees. Did that and when reassembled it all fell on the floor. Thought I was seeing things so dismantled it again went 36 degrees and its sitting very near the floor again. One might say the torque tube has collapsed but there are no signs of that. The mounting area around the 4 bolts that hold the plate that carries the spring plate bushing is as solid as the day it left the factory. No visible torn metal at the centre of the torque tube that would indicate failure of the tube. Nevertheless I seem to have a torsion bar location problem which is worrying...
