It's me again this time I finally got that 75 squared away got everything working.  Finally got the transmission into neutral and everything was fine.  Driving it I noticed it was swaying all over the place.  I thought it was the front end.  Knew I hadn't done anything to it.  I jacked it up tonight to put it on rollers and I looked at the fiberglass TRW spring had split wide open barely hanging together.  What would have caused that to break like that.  So now do I stay with fiberglass or go back to a spring.  It is not a race care it only goes to car shows.  Please let me know because I don't want to buy another fiberglass one and it does the same thing.  Thanks Dean
