That's what I was thinking. It's definitely stiffer over bumps now, but I'm just glad it doesn't rub

Re: 1958 Saab story

I pulled it out of the shop and let it air up and measured at the rocker behind the front fender and in front of the rear wheel. It's 7 1/2 inches up front and 8 1/4 at the rear. It looks level enough for me not to mess with it, and it's not sagging in the rear.

Re: 1958 Saab story

Well the exhaust issue is fixed, which was a huge relief. While driving around, I was trying to pay attention to the headlight coverage and cut off to make sure I'm not blinding oncoming traffic with 4 low beams. My driveway to the shop is a bit of an uphill, so I think it gives a pretty good example of the low and high beam outputs.
