I have been quite busy with life lately and haven't had any time to work on my car. I drove it into my barn yesterday. I recently replaced my complete front suspension with a 87 911 front suspension. I took off my rear suspension to do a 5 lug conversion. My car did have a few alignment shims in the rear when I removed the suspension however I forgot to add them back when I reinstalled the suspension. The camber visibly looks ok. Obviously need to get an alignment however it is a fairly long drive to the place that I trusT so I would like to get the car reasonably leveled out before driving it far. The car drives straight.

What adjustments would increase the ground clearance on the right front? Will adding the alignment shims to the right rear increase the ground clearance on the right rear?

I am fairly embarrassed to ask these questions. I obviously am not very adept at working on suspensions.

I guess I could drive it the way it is- everyone will think I have hydraulics!

From Dave at the Bird: Part # 17, "adjusting screw". Screw it in to raise the car, I think. Measure, adjust, roll the car around to settle the suspension, measure. Repeat until you've got the results you want.

I have done this with the car on the ground. My arms are not that long. If you need to remove the torsion cup you have to unweight that side.
