Re: Rear Suspension Issue
Ill double check. the driver side sits a fist between the lipand the tire. and the passanger side sits almost double that. my dad said it might be the rubber being worn that go on top off the spings.
but ill try to put the rear out today and see what every thing looks like.

Re: Rear Suspension Issue
That’s were I’m confused. I have a big shortage of space compared to the other side. When I take things apart later maybe it will explain it’s self.

Re: Rear Suspension Issue
last night i was able to get under the car. The springs seemed to be seated correctly. i did however find that the PO is a terrible welder. both brackets that weld to the chasse for the sway bar popped off. the welding looked like he was welding with a mig and had the wire hanging a foot out. it was just spatter every were. so i rewelded the brackets the right way and reattached the sway bar. Rides a lot better now, that f***in noise is gone. but i wasn’t able to check how the car sits. ill check when i go on lunch today.
