Suspension?????

I can't sacrifice much more clearance, like I said before, around here we got potholes that will swallow cars whole.

A quick update after about 100 or so miles springs are settling in nice, dropped about another 3/4 in. that should be where they stay but won't complain if they go lower.

I know my stock ones were gone, man I felt every crack in the road, now it's like riding on air.

Here's a new twist after checking the settling, the passenger side is higher than the drivers side. Is this a normal or am I losing it or what?

I am thinking I missed something during the install.

make sure your alignment is correct that none of your control arm bushings are worn out that your strutmounts are mounts properly that all the springs are fully seated on the strut check to make sure your sway bar is not bent. or you can do the easy fix and shim your sway bar at the endlink untill it is level.

Haven't done allignment yet, still have a few polys to put in, including the control arrms. The mounts are ok put them on the same way I took them off. It may be the spring isn't seated right, had that problem with the rears, they were clunking when I hit a bump until I gave a tug and twist. I don't think it's the sway bar, had it off to clean the mounting points before putting the polys on and as far as I could tell it was straight.

Good advice, I have so much to do I tend to forget the simple things.

alright well if you cant figure it out shim the sway bar cheap fix but gets the job done. you shim on the lower side to bring the other side down to its leval. also did you need to use cam bolts to get camber correct or does it still look right.

[91scortgt]

No did not need them I have a camber check tool and it only moved 2 1000th. so it may be either the perch or the sway bar.

Which way are the reference pins on the perches supposed to point?

Are you sure the car was on PERFECTLY level ground when you were looking at it?

I know when I see my car leaning to one side or the other and think something is wrong, but it just ends up being on unlevel ground.

Yep, had it on my driveway when I checked it. I just got done checking the spring, it was not seated, a little twist and tug and it's fixed. Rechecked the fender height, dead on, on both sides. Time for a beer

Anyone know what stock fender height is? I'm curious to see the actual drop.
