79 trans am doesn't sit level?
Hey guys, I've got a question, i replaced the suspension on my TA with Hotchis springs, but my car still doesn't sit level when looking at it from the rear. I thought the springs were just old, that's why I replaced them, but it's still sits lower on the driver's side. Any suggestions?

I had the very same issue. I mistakenly assumed that something was twisted so I took it to a chassis shop. They did find some minor twist which was corrected. Despite this the car still sat higher on one side then the other, by about 1/4 inch.
Luckily the issue had a simple solution. One of the leaf springs was not sitting square inside the rear axle pad. It was barely noticeable. Check that. I loosened the leaf springs at the axle and adjusted them to fit right and car sits flat now. |
