Mystery clunk/Rear Struts

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

I had this happen on a 62. The rear strut is the small leaf spring over either side of axle. Very easy to see if they are broken or not.

Those rear struts seem to be broken often, though I have never broken one myself in all of my years of driving Imperials. When I got my '56, they were both broken.
