Photo DIY ("M") Rear Spring Pad R/R

I have noticed two things:

1- The Rear Tire-to-Wheel Well Distance seems abnormally Low, especially with the kids in the back.

2- There is a subtle "Metalic" thud noise when going over bumps.

So, I was thinking the Spring pad could be either narrowed or hardened, making the spring act more like a metal on metal contact with the Spring Perch.

The following is a "Do it Myself" posting, intended SOLELY FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES *ONLY* and NOT to be used as a Guide for anyone else to use to work on their own vehicle. "IF" you do, it is at your own risk.
