THIS IS MY PROBLEM. BUGS THE SHIT OUT OF ME AND
RUBS SO BAD AFTER I PUT MY NEW WHEELS THAT I CAN EVEN DRIVE THE CAR NO MORE.


REAR LEFT SIDE PUSHED IN SO MUCH. HITS THE INNER. FENDER ...NOT RUNNING QUAD SHOCKS EITHER.
 -
 -

REAR RIGHT(PASSENGERS) IS FINE.
 -
 -

I'M THINKING IT MIGHT BE SOMETHIN TO DO WITH THE UPPER ADJUSTABLE CONTROL ARMS ON REAR END.ONE SIDE LOOKS MORE TIGHTENED THEN THE OTHER. SHIFTS IT TO THE RIGHT...????

Looks like you need to lengthen the drivers side upper and shorten the passenger side. When I did my adjustable uppers I used my old stock ones as a gauge using two long bolts to set the adjustables at stock length and then dialed in my pinion angle from there.

Isn't your rearend pushed to one side? Kuz your shocks looks like they're sideways. Maybe torque boxes are gone N ur rearend is swaying to one side? My shit used to get like that when my torque boxes were fucked up. Now with my new ones everything is good.

Sounds like this might be right. I would do all this but i don't wana Fuck shit up more than it is now, have no space to do it, and no time. I much rather have someone professional take a look and do it. Torque boxes are already reinforced they're good NEIGHT. Pretty sure its the adjustable suspension on this thing, just don't know how to mess with it.

the adjustable uppers will make a big diff if off, at least adjust them so you can drive it, then get your pinion angle set
