Re: Leaf Spings

you can't fit the springs wrong way around as the centering point for the axle isn't located in the center of the leafspring.

the problem with the AQ171 marine engines is that they don't use vacuum advance for the ignition, the unit itself doesn't have the vacuum port. all car mappings are based around the vacuum port so finding one that matches without it would be a case of trial and error, then you'll be better off if yo...

Re: Knocking noise on rear axle

it's not likely that the knocking is from that rod (commonly known as the anti-tramp bar on here)

prime suspect is the rear jacking point being able to touch the leafspring, that happens quite often.
also, if you lowered it quite a bit it might be the shock absorber that catches on the axle
