Sounds like you have a broken air cleaner mount bracket. Worth checking under the cleaner and seeing.

Also getting rid of the sls system was the best thing I've ever done to the wifes 85 wagon. Id count that as a plus, not a minus, assuming it was done fairly well.

Just imagine an entire system of breakable expensive finicky parts gone forever that you do not have to deal with. Yes, you do not have the high capability of load that the sls provides, but for normal use, its pretty unnecessary. I haven't regretted once ripping it out, and we've loaded her car up a number of times since then.

There is a spring part number over on std you can buy that is just about perfect if you want to get rid of the spacers. I went with the propigskin kit, and its effective, but a trifle noisy. Were I to do it again, id buy the springs listed on std and not use cut off springs
