Rebuilt my front suspension, dropped the UCA 1 inch, roller spring perches, everything that had wear was replaced including steering box.had the car alignment done, when I drive the car fwd the front rises, goes down in reverse. Moved the UCA back to original holes, set toe at zero, checked camber best I could with a level, one side 0, other slight negative camber, still when I drive fwd front come up, goes down in reverse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Stock Springs, roller spring perches, stock control arms, everything moves freely.First lets get this over to the tech section to get you some help.
Second are the control arms spring perches and springs stock replacements?
I don't remember them being side specific but I have a feeling something is either backwards or on the wrong side.
It's been a while since I fooled with a first gen car.

I thought the same thing, set toe at zero yesterday, still have same problem.I would think that would be toe in ,it sounds like as it roles forward the wheel track width is closing causing the front to climb...if i understsnd what you are talking about here
Control arms are stock and move very freelyDid you install new UCA's? They might be binding in the big nuts. Should move freely with the A arm without the coil springs being installed.
Controll arms are the same side to side ,only thing different is the spindles ,they are left and right
It would just about have to be caster ,camber or toe in and it is probably a combination of more than one
Hi, just a question, did you happen to put front disc brakes on when you rebuilt the front end ? I've known several who used disc and spindles from Granada or others that have a way oversize lower control arm bolt hole in the spindles, and had similar problems. Even the allign shop didn't catch it. Just asking.
