Default Re: Calling all Rear Suspension Experts

While tightening a universal strap on the RH halfshaft we, decided to make an adjustment here to help the universal caps seat in the yoke better. This also brought the wheel back inside the fenderwell noticeably...RH wheel was sticking out further than LH wheel.

We restacked the spacers to the top of the Leaf spring, to return to stock height at the rear...no more A$$ dragging ride setup. And adjusted for full suspension travel, just gotta adjust for left side slightly lower than right side as I want the car to look perfectly straight & level.
Thanks Hib & Russ...going to the leaf spacers first was key. The ride has settled noticeably, and was an easy adjustment.

The LH wheel was visually tilting inward, we adjusted it straight. The left rear shock was loose at both bottom and top. Have to access top of shock from inboard, tomorrow. It's no wonder this car was handling like crap. An alignment will be done at some point & Road Force balancing, hopefully I'm getting it closer to where it should look and feel.
