I'm not sure why they are doing this. I centered the control arms because I wasn't sure about the shims. It seems like something is binding if I try to lengthen the strut rods. It acts like the control arms need to move in or maybe the spring bolts need to be longer. Can somebody help me out. I want to get the body back on as soon as I can. I didn't want to do that until I get this figured out.

You don't have any weight back there and this is normal. It will change when you put the body down!

Don't worry about it right now everything will be fine! Just make camber as far out as possible. Oh nice job too!

I was just concerned because all the pictures I've seen of other chassis didn't look like that. The wheels all looked normal. Anyway, on with the body!
