I went to put a set of new lowers on my 92 GT. I went to put back on the sprind and the rear seems to be out of alignment. The bolt hoke is about 1/4" to 3/8" off. Should I loosen up the lower to and then bring it back into alignment. I plan to put on s set of adjustable uppers too?

Disconnect both rear shocks and quad shocks. Lower rear end down and remove springs. Replace both arms without springs in car. Then reinstall springs, jack the rear up and connect the shocks again.

I'm confused, you say you went to put new lowers in but the bolt hole is slightly off...then you ask if you should loosen the lowers too?

I assume he's trying to install the LCA's one at a time by jacking up the arms with springs in place and can't line the holes up
