I have basically rebuilt the rear end during the Covid-19. Had trailing arms rebuilt, differential replaced all seals and bearings, upgraded camber rods, and upgraded rear spring to a composite one. Please see attached photo, the bolt does not line up. I am not sure why, any suggestions? Sorry photo is sideways, I’m new to posting.


Bolt does not line up.

 

Well, can only see one side. Perhaps try rotating your photos before you post them.
perhaps try removing the spring from the center mount and flipping it end for end?

 

I recently put a composite spring in mine. It looks like your bolt is short. But, you can just position it so it drops in the hole and put the nut etc. on. Don't be surprised if the back end sits high. My bolts are 8 inches.

 

I do have the longer bolts, they are just shoved up. The picture shown has the spring jacked up. I think I will disassemble and start over in the morning.

 

It may help to raise the trailing arm a little as well. Looks like it is hanging down. Raising it would let the bolt tip more.

 

Thank you.... for flipping my photo, I will raise trailing arm in the morning... I’ll advise how it goes.

 

It is complete! Jacking up the trailing arm did the trick. Thank you for all your help.
