shackles keep inverting

Post by cruiser60series »

The rear shackle on one side of my HJ47 troopy springs keeps inverting up against the chassis. It's very annoying!!

On both sides at the rear the shackle angle seems wrong, about right angles to the chassis rail. I beleive they are original springs that have been bent upwards to get more lift out of them, they do however (when not inverted) give me a good enough ride (for a 40 troopy). They appear more circular than parabolic and have a smaller curve radius than they should and pull the shackles in at the wrong angle...you get me?

I can't really afford to get new springs, can anyone think of any remedies that will stop my shackle from inverting all the time?
At first I thought it was a sea anemone, upon closer inspection I realised it was a funky ball of tits from outer space.
