    I have been trying to figure out what would cause this rear to kickup when I put the car on the ground. I can put the torque tube on it and pull it down but seems to me that would be too much stress on it. Any ideas?
     
  2. I would think the torque tube and radius rods keep it in place.Tied to trans and engine of course.How is the rear mounted?Transverse rear spring?

    Looks like the spring is behind the axle and without the torque tube or radius rods in place that is what happens when you put weight on it as there is nothing to keep it straight except the mounts to the spring. leverage takes over and it tilts up in front.

    Makes sense now that I had someone tell me.
