My life with a Brick

The control arms are set the same from left to right but when the axle is jacked up into the bumps the passenger side is 1/2” or so different. Any idea why? 62656804143__13C848DD-A237-4867-B3C4-FD2048AFEAEA.jpg

Maybe because the track bar is connected?

Hmmm that's odd. Maybe measure from bolt to bolt just to double check them UCA length. Also Maybe the coil bucket or jounce is a bit off making it look like the axle is moving up differently on one side.

Mark, sorry I was on the phone when you came to pick up the unit bearings! Have you thought of measuring from the front of the bump stop to a known point on the frame? That would tell you pretty quick if there was an issue

Just got back from a job put your way! I borrowed a floor jack from a guy down the street so I can put one under each end of the axle and jack it up and down tomorrow but I will take some measurements from the bumper back to the bump stop “holder” and see what those look like

Adjusted all 8 arms to get everything lined up properly. I learned something today I would have never guessed. The driveshaft is longest at stuff and shortest at full flex, confirming the axle moves in an arch, just hadn’t thought that much about it before
