I changed out my Rear Coil springs on my 85 300D and a year later, they still have not "settled". The rear looks High and knock kneed. Will my rear tires wear incorrectly? Meanwhile my cars rear looks like a Muscle car, and the tires bow outwards (looking coltish) corresponding to the excessive curvature of these springs(which are Lemforder by the way)

I am going to change out these springs to my old one's ASAP!

Meanwhile, my wife surprised me by buying 4 new tires . This car is my daily driver now! However I can't drive it now because I need to get it aligned and also because the rear springs may adversely impact tire wear and impact alignment.

Any advice....will the rear springs being out of spec ( i.e too high and strong, causing outward bow of rear tires) ruin my new expensive tires...

I'm not very familiar with the w123, are there any spring pads you can remove?

cheers,
dan r.

Maybe you put the wrong springs in.
