My prop shaft rubs on the tunnel going over bumps/dips - it's always done it - but funnily enough has got worse over the years as the driver has got heavier!
It's now got to the stage with two of us in the car that it rubs most of the time, even on flat roads under acceleration for example.
Presumably there's a fundamental alignment issue that’s been there from day one, which may not be easy to resolve. I think the best course of action is to beef up the rear suspension to cope with the extra weight the car now has to cope with.
Has anyone got any suggestions as to the best approach to this, shocks/springs etc? (Suggestions that don’t include dieting and exercise please)
At present the car has the standard Marina 1.8 set-up with Spax adjustables that have been on the car since '84 (I’ve tried winding the screw in to make it harder)
