    Ever seen this before?

     



    Yesterday I was taking some measurements to buy the parts necessary to put a new chrome front end on my roadster and I noticed the spring only had shackles on one end. It is directly bolted to the axle on the drivers side. Really weird. I've only driven the car a couple hundred miles or so. I didn't notice it while driving. It would have to move the axle sideways when the spring compresses and pull it back when it contracts.
