Ride height uneven

[19stang66]

Now I have another problem. After getting the new suspension put together including the shelby drop, the front wheel gaps are uneven. The passanger side sits about 1 inch or less higher than the drivers side. What could this be due to?? I really hope I didnt screw up drilling the holes for the shelby drop. I thought the shelby drop only lowered the car by about 1/4"? But I would of had to been off by a lot to make that much of a difference, right? Look at my car description below for my suspension mods. One other possibility is that maybe the passanger side is sitting too high and the drivers side is sitting right? :damnit:

Don't get too excited until after the alignment and a little driving time

Double check your work. The pictures you have of drilling the holes for the Shelby drop looked pretty darned good to me. Besides you'd have to be way off there.

A couple of things to look for:

Where the spring seats at the top of the tower, do you have one off set, and are both spring guides the same height?

Are both springs sitting on the perch correctly?

Are the front shocks seated correctly?

Is the passenger side toed in or out?

Chances are you've done everything correctly, and either the spring needs to take a set, and/or, you need to align the front end.

BTW: nice pictures and right up on all your mods. Looks like you're doing a great job!

Thanks. I'll double check everything tomorrow. What do you mean having the spring guides offset or being the same height? Kinda confused.

Have you driven it at all since doing the work? Sometimes it just takes a few bumps to get everything to settle a bit, especially if you've replaced bushings or springs.

runt66...sorry 66runt covered everything i was thinking and a couple more... it may be as simple as getting an alingment to have all the new suspension come out of the bind that it could be in.

So I could be right saying that the passanger side is sitting too high? That's not a lot of wheel gap up front then meaning i'd probably have to roll the whole fender lip I haven't driven it yet because i'm waiting on new brake lines to come, hopefully today.
