I've got a saggy bottom!

[The Red Baron]

1973 MGB roadster.

One rear corner is a bit lower than the other. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to why and how to fix it.

I suspect it's an old shock absorber that needs replacing, but looking through the Haynes manual it suggests the shock abosorbers can be 'topped up' with the right fluid.

Given I've had the car 15 years and not changed them before (they are possibly original), I'm guessing changing them is the best option - provided that is the cause of the droopy corner. What else could it be?

If anyone knows the best place to get replacements I'd also appreciate that info. Moss don't have any in stock.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice and tips. It is the driver's side and definitely the rear, which is down about an inch or so compared to the other side.

I haven't had the chance to inspect it yet, but am hoping it is a damper rather than springs. I've 'refreshed' tired springs before although nearly 30 years ago, on a previous 'B', but I still remember it as being a pain.
