Hi,
I am building a dolly/jig to finish the repair work on my car.
I have leveled the car to the best of my ability.
The top inside of the longs in the cockpit are level side-to-side and front-to-back.
I have built a metal dolly frame that is 12 foot x 3 foot rectangle
The dolly frame is level sitting under and a few inches lower than the car.
I am making fixtures go from the frame to the car that attach:
1-To the front suspension Pickup Points (front of the torsion bar)
2-To the suspension crossmember bolts
3-To the inner and outer consoles on both sides (all on one metal cross piece)
4-To the transmission mounts.

I did the front suspension pickup points (front of the torsion bar) yesterday and the pieces that I cut to go from the dolly frame to the car were the same length +/- 1 mm or so.
I moved on to the inner and outer consoles in the back and it seems that the driver’s side is about 3mm higher than the passenger’s side. Everything else seems straight on the car (level and other measurements) within a millimeter or two.
Inside the passenger’s compartment the top of the longs are level front to back and the dolly frame is level.

Is this discrepancy within normal tolerances or is it something with which I should concern myself.

If it is ok, I can just make the dolly frame to console support 3 mm taller on that side and move on.

I am measuring level with a rotary laser so it is fairly easy to check accurately.

TIA

-Andrew

You would get more response in the garage. Might want to repost there, or contact an admin to move it for you.
