Did you have the subframe out of the car?

Yes, had it all apart blasted and painted it and put in back together with all the same parts except a arm bushings and ball joints.

You checked the bushings, like, all the front subframe bushings?

All same and new.

Is the outside of the front tires the same distance from the fender lip on both sides?

The left front is 3/4 inch smaller or lower than the right. The right side is the same as pics I have of before I did the disassembly.

You're saying that you have a noticable drop in fender gap from the tire than from before you started any disassembly?

It was the same when I tore it apart now the left side is very low. Now the left front rubs very easily over small bumps turns or downshifting.

There are positioning holes in the frame that match holes in the body. Are those close or lined up?

I will check later this week when I get home

You put the old springs back in and the same issue?

Same with new and old springs. Both sets are stock replacement and it has the same 2 in drop spindles.

Take 4 measurements, all 4 corners of the front subframe, and list the distance from the floor.

I will get back to you on this.


Take a pic of the control arms from one side with it up on jackstands, with the tire off. Post it.
I will
