Calling all corner balance experts!
I'm running into a problem with corner balancing the car. I can't seem to get a straight answer as to what is more important on the corvette: either to have the cross weight at 50% or the front left and front right to be equal weights.
I am making all my adjustments on the bolts through the leaf springs. Now when I adjust the corners to be in acceptable numbers, I've found that my wheel gaps are all way different. The front right ride hight just based on the gap between the tire and fender range from 2-4 fingers side to side. Is there a baseline ride height I should concern myself with to start? Is it alright to have the car cocked up on one side to shift the weight?
Just for reference the numbers I have right now are:
LF: 900 RF: 895
LR: 843 RR: 768
LEFT: 51.2%
REAR: 47.3%
CROSS: 51.0%
I think these numbers sound about right, but I'm afraid the car is too uneven as far as ride heights are concerned. Thanks for any help you can offer me as I have been working to get this right for a long time now.
