I just finished replacing all the suspension bushings, ball joints, installed Bilstein shocks, 140 lb springs and turbo tie rods...What a job! I'm getting it ready to take it to the alignment shop. I have 2 questions/concerns.
If I set the front axle ride height at the Haynes spec, it seems like the body of the car is way up off the wheels, higher than the rear ride height. I elected to set it at 6 3/4" at the center of the torsion bar cap, which gives me a 3/8 difference between the front and rear ride heights. Is this OK? Am I missing some sophisticated geometry concern by setting the front height this way? Second question involves the right vs left rear height. I set both struts the same, with the height clip in the fourth ring from the bottom, but the right rear sits 1/4" lower than the right. In order to correct this left/right imbalance, should I set one strut clip higher or lower than the other? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) |
