Title: Rear springs ??? She's low
Post by JohnJ on Mar 18^th, 2004, 11:41am

I always thought that my Scorp was a bit low but today I had a full low on and it seems every bump resulted in the mud flaps getting dragged. I think the shocks are OK, there is a tow bar on my car and may have been used for the odd oversized caravan. :).... mY question I put to you is, ...Is it easy to change the rear springs of the Scorp and can I get them in a Scrappy or should I get them from fords. Does the Granada springs fit???

I know I'll problely have to get spring pullers ???
But at least Ill have them.

Hi John
I have a pair of rear springs if you are interested, no you don't need pullers to change them.

Are uprated rear springs available for this model ?
This would remedy any future problems. Or it might be possible to fit helper springs inside some good standard ones.
I'm sure there must be the odd caravan fanatic who can advise on what would be suitable.
