Agreed, have him recheck the recient work.
Where the springs replaced in the rebuild ? If no, I would suspect one them.
When I purchased my car, both front springs where broken, a coil or two from the bottom, I noticed it due to a metal rubbing noise. Had front springs replaced.
About a mounth later, leaving Lowes after picking up stuff for my WVO conversion, BANG ! What a pop. But all seemed ok, however at inspection a week after that, the shop informed my that one of my rear springs was broken and it was a fresh break.
I exactly knew when and where it let loose. Again it was one of the first coils. They where all ready saggy so I did not notice any difference in ride height after the break.
With the new springs, what a difference in height.
There are pics in the pic section of the ride height with my 4 new springs and some measurments in an post in the group.
