Hi

The body can also sit on the pan cockeyed, a bit of work with a tape measure should tell you what out of wack.

Nice car, have you had any oil starvation problems with your rear wheelbearings?

It's the 'ol dilema. Do you want to drive it or look at it?
(As the Chief Choker once said)
That sure looks good though!!! How wide are your fronts and how does the offset compare to the stock offset?

You could run the new 145/65 continentals on the front,
they will be skinier & lower profile than yours, so should help a fair bit.

What Jim said change your ya tyres and it should only scrape and it should a little doing a full loced turn.Add dropped spindles and it will not scrape.I would go on the waiting list asap for a set of 135s.Or join the vwsleds and get a phat set of foxcrafts and a set of 125s.

Hi

You dont have them on king & link pin front ends like on balljoint front ends, however the front bolts that hold your brake backing plates on are longer and contact the steering knuckle on full lock, limting travel, if these are mixed up you can get too much lock, also you can fit longer bolts than standard here to limit your lock, a bit of trial and error to get it right.
