Default Body Lean on 1970 BB

The body is low on the passenger side rear, but looks level from the front. Is there any adjustment that can be made to level the rear?

Adjust the sprong bolt on the RIGHT or LEFT. Whilst supporting the spring end with a jack to take pressure of the bolt threads do one of the following or both:

Tighten Right side - makes that side go up
Loosen Left Side - makes that side go down

Be sure to check the spring mounting points on the rear end (four bolts). You MAY have a broken rear end housing, sometimes they break.


Good luck and let us know.
