These new control arms you installed,any info like brand/part #?
How do they compare in length to the stockers or the ones they replaced?

I just wanted to take shocks out of the equation
Kruisr, how did you move those ears? My uppers were a beyatch to get aligned. That's probably where I'm binding up, even with the botls looseAs said above, take the springs out and cycle the rear through full range of motion. When near normal (for a Foxbody) height the wheel should be better centered in wheel well.
Something to check, if you installed aftermarket rear control arms, could the uppers be in a bind? I know when I swapped my rear suspension bushings to polyurethane pieces (in stock arms at the time) I had to move the sleeves in the rear end ears toward the center of car 1/4-3/8 to allow the bushings to fit and seat right and not bind.
2x4 and big hammer. 2x4 laying flat along the flange of the sleeve and a mini sledge to beat on the 2x4. Obviously you want to move it slowly to not overshoot where you want to be as moving it back will be much harder. If your bushings are already installed and can't be removed, just put the 2x4 on the bushing face.Kruisr, how did you move those ears? My uppers were a beyatch to get aligned.
