car leans

Postby turbocal » 23 Dec 2003 3:00

I have a 1970 challenger. Even after new shocks are installed, the car leans to one side. Also, with a 440 motor, the front end sets hgher than the back..Is there something to adust the cars stance, I would prefer a slight nose down in the front. thanks, calvin

First of all your rear springs may be very much past their best.

Also the front suspension is height adjustable. There is an adjusting bolt in the bottom of each lower control arm. If each side is not adjusted the same it can look as if it is the rear that is not straight.
