Springs seem to be leaning backwards, after adj LCA?? I finally got the 12 bolt back in the car. I had to adj the LCA to move them back, as I noticed some paint rubbed off the front metal. The tire was obviously rubbing.
I moved it back 1/4", but now the springs seem to be leaning, on both sides. They appear to be installed right. Is this ok, & will they "adjust" themselves to where they need to be? I assume they should be straight up & down, but I guess adj the LCA is going to make them lean some. Have I exceeded the limit?

Hmmmm. Never thought of that. I wonder about this also. I plan to hopefully get Adj. LCAs in a couple months. Anyone else noticed this change in spring attitude. It makes sense--moving the lower mount and leaving the upper mount in place, but damn.

I realized that I have not yet adjusted the pinion angle. That appears to be the problem. I need to get everything else assembled, & then I will adjust the pinion angle & report back.
