So after getting the trailing arm rebushed on the drivers side I wanted to check the rake. The rake looks good. I checked for level port to starboard and I got a lean. Almost like the s10 lean when the big dudes drive around on them all the time and the springs get sad. Front is leaning too. So my question is - Will the rear suspension affect the front suspension in regards to balance? I realize if the driver rear is super low it will have some affect on the driver front, but its almost like a 1:1 ration where as I thought the front would not suffer as much.
Oil tank is on the driver side accounting for some of the additional weight. I was not in the car when checking the side to side level. Rear springs are 100lb 914-6 ones two perches up on both. Front is an SC setup with a front sway bar. Will new rear springs solve all my problems or do I need to investigate something else like adjust the front driver adjuster also? At the donuts Drv F - 4 & 7/8 Drv R - 5 & 7/8 Pass F - 5 & 7/8 Pass R - ~6 - hard to determine as there was console work done on that side and the donut was remounted at an angle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) From those numbers it doesn't seem like the rear should have as much variation, but it does. The fender on the Pass R is about 2 in higher than the Drv R. Maybe the guy that put on the flares was careless (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The lowest point seems to be the Drv F with 1 inch lower than the pass F and Drv R. So maybe if I adjust the drv F and get that donut in line with the pass F then I can start to adjust the pass R down one notch to bring it even with the drv R. Is this logic sound? Where you at Phil?
