Rear radius arms--quick favor
I have the rear cage out for a diff replacement and usual other repairs. I'm taking advantage of the opportunity to install a rear anti-roll bar. I'm in the mock-up stage at the moment.
I hoping someone can take a quick peek at their rear radius arms for me.
With the car unloaded and at rest on a level floor, are the radius arms parallel to the floor? Or do the slant downwards a bit towards the rear? If they slant downward, How much? 1 inch, 2 inches, 3 inches? An eyeball guess is OK here.
I recall a downward slant but can't remember for sure.
Mine is a Series III but I think a Series I or II would be the same. The basic suspension layout is the same.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
Cheers

Chuckle!!!
1. I ain't going out to my cold garage and get under with a ruler. Sorry!
2. Elinor, how tall are the jack stands? so Doug can do the math!
3. Does it really matter?
Have not been driving the Jaguar regularly. Rain storms and messy streets. Odd, yeah, in view of it's English heritage, it should be right at home. Uh, uh, the wipers on my Jeep are far bigger and wipe so much faster. Not to mention that the Jeep's washer works and the Jag's does not???
So, I tried to crank up the Jaguar. Nope, clickety, clicks only. Put on the charger. Fired after a six hour injection of volts. Yesterday, fired again. Today, ???
I get this feeling, I'm about to go battery shopping.
The two cycle Weed Whacker refused to fire yesterday. So, got out the weaker electric one. Good enough. A fair session. Lots more to go before I try to fire up the
mower. It is always fussy about the first start for the season...
