Hi there everybody,

I'm getting close to throwing my car to the junkyard, and besides the engine (previous post), there's not much left. I'm thinking about removing the springs, front and back, and maybe cutting them and having an extra set to mess around with.

Also I was advised that I have a 1031 differential (limited slip), which is somewhat desirable, from what I understand.

I understand roughly how the suspension and the drivetrain work, but I just havn't done this before, so here's the question: What's the most I can remove from these two systems before the car can no longer roll onto the tow truck?

thanks,

Josh in IL
