Well I got under the car again last night and again did not see anything wrong other than the bad wheel bearing. Something is causing the rear end to squat big time upon hard acceleration. Even my buddy that took pictures of me launching at the drag strip said your rear end sunk down big time launching off the line. My mono leaf spring is not cracked. It looks good top and bottom. There's only a few things it could be which brings me back to shocks. All the bolts are tight. All the bushings look fine. I've driven a car that had bad shocks before and it makes the car feel squashy and ride low. The car has KYB gas shocks on it. I have the original Bilstiens in a box. They need to be rebuilt. My passenger side tires both have bad wheel bearings but that has nothing to do with the entire rear end squatting. From the ground to the highest point of the wheel well it measures 28". I gues the mono spring could be cracked in the middle where I cant see it. Anyway I've got to get back to work.
