Endura nose question
 
1 Attachment(s)
Is it normal for the nose to do this when you lift the car? Thanks!

yes to a point..when it sets back down it should go back to what it was..if it doesnt...then id worry...

thats more than ive seen..but doesnt surprise me..

Thanks! It’s my first ‘68 so I’m learning the quirks.

As mark said, common. new body and core support bushings will help but not eliminate that. and very important to remember when adjusting the endura on the car that it's sitting on the wheels weighted and not up in the air. I made that mistake my first time and saw how the endura crushed into the fenders when I lowered it.

That gap looks a little larger than I saw on my car when I had the car up on frame stands today, but yes, that's what you see.

My old 68 had even more separation when raised in the air by a x style lift. I actually cracked the paint that overlapped the gap. Maybe not such a big deal, but could be an issue on improperly painted cars

That's why I typically avoid supporting the front end from anywhere behind the front wheels. Usually at the front sway bar attach points. You won't see that gap when you do that.

On my convertible the gap is twice as bad as the picture when you raise it on a lift.....also the doors won't open.....always been like that
