what happens when rear spring breaks?
Hey guys, I think my right rear suspension is broken, but I can't see anything wrong with it (no jacks, so i'm going by a "face on the ground with a flashlight" approach). The right rear wheel is about 2 inches lower than the left rear wheel (so the fronts are about an inch different as well). Anyway, I don't have any exact measurements, but about how much clearance should there be between the top of the tire and the wheel well? (i have an 84 gsl-se)

What you describe, (2 inches lower) sounds like a spring problem. You should definitely be able to tell (since they are coil). Look at the springs from top to bottom. If you see a disconnect or a disproportionate spacing between each coil, then it's probably the spring. If not, then re-post.
