So i just picked up a 95 GTS. It has full Griggs rear suspension (panhard, torque arm, lower control arms, coil overs, etc.). I am currently running 17" 99 cobras and the tires are both 255-45-17. I added 1" spacers to poke the wheels out a bit more and i noticed that the passenger side wheel is more flush than the driver side. It sits about 1/2" further out. Why or how could this be??? I am almost positive that the offset of both rims are the same, the spacers are the same thickness, and the tires are the same size. Could something be bent, therefore making the passenger side stick out more? The wheels seem to be sitting straight up with the same camber though. Any ideas???

what does the panhard bar do? this happens a lot . people get the good stuff but dont know how to put it on good. this the rear correct? adjust the panhard bar. i had a customer bragging about his griggs stuff when he brought his car in and i noticed he had a wheel spacer and not the other, i asked why was that, he said to center the rearend! lol!he and you have a adjustable panhard bar that centers the rear where ever you like.

the phb needs to be adjusted to get the rearend centered.

I actually checked it again after driving it home from my parents house and its fine [Big Grin] When I jacked up the rear to put on the wheel spacers i guess something happened, but when driving it re-aligned itself...all is good now [patriot]
