This picture was posted on the Dimes US list an inquired as to what may have
caused the suspension failure. There is a lesson for the younger folk here
who want to lower a 1600 the wrong way i.e. chopping springs instead of
moving the spring perch. I thought it worth a look here for the experience.
This 1600 is mega low with cut springs, so low the sway bar has been acting
like a spring, a bit like an early 1000 or Corolla xmember.
Notice the cracks in the lower control arm - I think the sway bar links gave
way first and did him a favour. These are stock length which is another
problem on a lowered car that's often overlooked.
