I just noticed yesterday that the rear end on my 86 sticks out a little extra on the passenger side. I have a 96 cobra rear on it. Anybody know if i should be worried about it or can i adjust it or what?

Adjustable upper control arms will allow you to center the rear end in the car.

The adjustable uppers also let you set pinion angle
