1980 sc coupe TB help
Hey all, after replacing rear bushings and TB's, (24mm upgrade to 26mm). I replaced the(bent slightly) rear sway bar w/stk replacement and new TB's. I set the new angle for euro height 34* on both sides camber -1*. The difference left to right after install and settling, around 3/4" difference to fender lip, L/R 25" R/R 25 3/4", L/F 26" R/F 25 1/2"
I removed bottom of shock from trailing arm both sides, made no difference. Reinstalled TB on right side to 31.5* which brought down to 25.5" to lip of fender, left is 25" to lip. SO... Now rear is closer but corner weight will be off. Front is off now which will continue to mess with corner weights. Feels like I'm chasing my tail here.I should state receipts show that my P-car was in a accident years ago hit in the LR, I can see where repair was done from inner fender, looks high up on the panel. When I purchased p-car last year the car was lowered quite a bit, R -23 3/4" F-24 1/2" camber was also extreme R- 2.5* F-1.5*. hope I've painted a clearish picture. Before I move on to the front end with new bushings and TB's (21mm) I need to resolve whats going on in rear. I'm hoping that pan isn't twisted or worse ![]()

Sounds like car was level before - but how so if now wonky? Spring plate adjustment?
Did you set the spring plates back into the centered position? I did not. That cost me another couple of runs at the indexing after centering them. Still did not get the indexing spot on. I will say that after I was beaten up by the P-car garage owner for being an idiot, he tweaked the ride height temporarily and had to leave the right side at -3 camber as he ran out of adjustment. Suspect your car may have just been too too low causing the same.

Thanks Bob for reaching out, yeah what a pita this has been! I can say that I now can dissemble and assemble each side in about 40 mins each! Wow, I now believe I'm getting close, I just got her back on the ground and she's still a little high in the rear but I can live with it. My main goal was even weights and I'm pretty close with my walmart scales that I rigged up, within 60 or so lbs in year and real close up front. After this weekend I should have her setup evenly, weight wise anyway! I'll be sure and post a pic of my scales and the car when I get back to that point again. Thanks Bob for your opinion and help!
