I ahve a 92 735 -- the rear end is sagging.
I've heard conflicting reports that
A) new springs
and
B) it's normal for indy-rear end cars to that.

Any way to tell? the car has 163K miles on it.

Thanks
-josh

replace springs and possibly shocks, springs could be broken as well.
with that many miles, shocks are likely finished as well

I do not believe mine came with that.
I'll look; but when we had it on the rack nothing looked out of the ordinary
(for me) so...

Is there a quick way to determine for sure?
