Well another day closer to getting it back on the road....Got all the Ridetech rear end suspension all bolted up, but ran into to a left/right centering up the rear end issue....There is no way to move the rear end left/right without re-welding the axle tube brackets.....

Anyone know of another way?

So are you saying the rear end isn't centered and is off set to side?? If that is the case I would first make sure it's not the body of the car?

[RBuhr69]

Correct, the LR tire has 1 1/2 clearance from the inside the tire to the inner fender well, the Right side sits against the inner fender well.....

Is it your org rear end or did you change it out? If I remember correctly you only add the upper brackets to rear housing? I would start by taking some measurements on the car and the housing. If its your org housing then the lower brackets have not moved?? So the housing should still be centered? Did you double check the wheels? I'm sure their correct but stuff happens?

What all has been changed in the rear?

new moser rear end but ordered exact same length, I did not specify where to weld the spring purch brackets and only said 69 Camaro so I assumed they would have been welded as if from factory setting. I have not added the upper brackets yet and only centering, and getting ride height set...

However, a friend of mine asked if the lower trailing arm body mounts had slots in them. This may be my issue so I will check that in the morning by loosening the bolts and see if the body mount can shift over enough......

[RBuhr69]

False alarm..Just got in a hurry yesterday and wasn't checking everything....Got it all lined up this morning and ready to weld tabs..Wheeewww!!!! Had me scared there for a minute..

Got the rear tires set where I want the ride height.....Probably going to have to get lower rate springs for front, I was able to adjust them after this photo some, but I will be out of the shock performance area if I keep going any further....These are 650lb, probably need 550lbs..

Good to hear...

Car looks good!

Oh man oh man that's looking good!!!! Need to see it on the ground!!

[RBuhr69]

Thanks for all the comments and help, that's for sure!!!

The front end is sitting too high for my liking but I know it is all new stuff and it is tight still, not much movement trying to muscle it my self...I received 650lb springs but I think they are going to be way too stiff for me...Im thinking im going to need 500 or 550lb minimum..
