1979 rear end and shocks
when I went to string line the rear end toe to get it as close as I could I realized that I couldn't adust the ta as far as it needed to go.
that got me measuring and I found that the distance from center of rear tire to center of front tire was different on the drivers side than the passenger side. there is about 1 inch of set back.
the passenger side rear tire is center in the well but the drivers side is much closer to the front of the well and that is the side that is short by an inch.
the frame looks fine but im no expert.
this also helps to explain pictures 1 above. the shock was really concerning me and now I have a reason for it.
the other issue is that when I got the new spring I had no idea what to get so I let the sales people guide me and now I have a 31 inch ride height. so now I guess I will buy a new softer / lighterspring to correct that.
im going to get it all back together 1st and have the frame corrected if that is what is causing the difference from one side to the other.
is there something other than the frame that causes that differe
nce?
as you can see the shafts are at too much of an angel because of that stiff spring
