The rear end on my 740 is sagging worse than Oprah's ass right now and i was hoping that someone out there might have some springs that would fix this problem! i cant afford to put in brand new springs right now but if some one has a decent set of springs that they could sell me at a decent price that would be greatly appreciated. any parts that could help make that rear end tighter would be great!

p.s. the car is an 87. i know that makes a difference for some parts.

I've got a set of overloads in the 740 I'll be parting out. I'll need your old springs to hold up the rear end, but the car's on jack stands right now so they're easy to get at. $50 plus your old springs sound fair?

If Doug passes I'll do that deal for the "new" 90 wagon which is sagging bad on the drivers side. Only problem is getting it running to come up to Calgary... :(

If it's driver's side only, have you checked to see if the suspension are actual shocks/springs or Nivomats/springs? 740s don't usually have Nivomats, but they also don't usually sag only on one side...

Yup, definitely shocks/springs. Was sure it was but just looked at it to confirm. I measured about 1/2" side to side difference at the bottom of the wheel arch, not allot but it is noticeable.
