Small problem, is this right?
I recently put a 4th gen rearend in my 89 camaro, and after gettting everything tightened up, I noticed that the driver's side tire sticks out about a 1/2 inch past the fender. The passenger side tire lines up perfectly with the outside of the fender. I used all of the suspension parts off of my car. The only thing 4th gen is the rearend. My car does have an UMI torque arm kit and UMI subframe connectors, but that should not make any difference I dont think. Is this 1/2 inch normal, or did i overlook something?

Re: Small problem, is this right?
Sounds like you need to shorten the Panhard bar a bit to center the rearend up. (of course this is only possible if you have already upgraded to an adjustable one...)

If your car is lowered you`re for sure gonna need the adj pan hard bar to center the rear.Been researching this myself for a future install.
