hey all,
havent been here in a while, anyway

My 65 i smaking some weird popping sound from the Driverside rear suspention when i turn left ( or whenever it is unweighted )
i havent gotten a chance to jack it up yet, and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what i should look for, and another thing, i was thinking of gettin some rims either 15" or 16", but as it is right now my car rubs on the driverside front on right turns with 4 ppl in the car ( be it 4 200+ lbs men ), i have 14x6's or wahtever those stock steelies are and some 215's with 65 profile on em right now, when i jack my car up im going to measure the height to see if somehow..it got lowered or whatever, cause it actually doesnt look like it is riding as high as it used to. Do you think there will be a problem if i try and go for 15x8's?

I am wondering if your leaf spring is broken, or maybe a shackle is loose.

what would it look like if the shackle was loose, the leaf would be able to move arround? No matter how much i move the car up and down by my own strength i cant seem to reproduce the sound without driving...I will jack it up either today or tomorrow and check it out.
