All the suspension in the back is aftermarket adjustable. the rear end is a moser 9 and my shock/spring combo is koni/strano. The problem is the passenger side of the car has over 1" of extra fender to wheel clearance compared to the drivers side. Is this a rear end spring perch problem or what do you think?

I have the same problem with the koni/strano set up. I tried spinning the springs and that didnt work. hope someone has an answer for us! when did you purchase the springs?

Interesting, usually it's the opposite side that has higher clearance. But this probably has to do with the fact you have a 9in.

I called moser and he said it could only be the springs. I switched them from side to side about three times and it made no difference. on ramps i measure just over 33" from ground to quarter panel on drivers side and just under 34 1/4" from ground to fender on pass side. i hate things not being symmetrical this drives me nuts! i bought the springs like summer of 08. the reason im messing with it now is im tired of a shitty ride so im putting the isolators back in. the height difference is magnified when those are in. i lived with it like this when i had the heater hose mod but not any more.

I just checked my car and it is actually the driver rear that is about .75" higher

i think its one of my spring perches causing the difference. i will measure from the ground to each of them within the next few days. moser said they are basically locked in a jig when welded but mistakes can happen.

Not that it makes that big of a difference, but it looks like your anti roll bar is installed wrong.

X2 your antiroll bar is incorrectly installed, but Idoubt that will help the situation any once it is installed correctly.

i've had 3 f-body's and all of them sat a little bit lower on the passenger side from stock to aftermarket springs

how is it in wrong looks the same as the one that came out? either way both sides should be the same distance from the mounting bracket, agreed?

This pic should help

You should have 4 rubbers, 4 washers, a spacer about 2" long and a long bolt and nut.

Definately missing the spacers from what I can see

Yea I agree with the spacers.. check your sway first..

agree with the swaybar endlinks being wrong.
but if you switched the springs from side to side, how could they still blame the springs? if it were the springs the opposite side would be higher after switching them. if switching them gave no change then it has to be something else.

all those pieces are on the ground i took them off to be able to raise and lower one side of the rear at a time. i did this in order to get the springs out to but the isolators back in. i was simply showing the gap difference between the sides. the sway bar end links should be the same distance from the body on both sides. see what im saying. the pics were for reference only i rotated the sway bar completely out of the way so all the **** fell off the bolt. then i rotated it back up so i could drive it into my garage and not have to worry about it catching anything.

pjb i agree and thats what leads me to believe its the spring perches. i will measure today and see if theres anything obviously off

you don't need to touch the swaybar endlinks to get the springs out/in. simply unbolting the lower shock bolt is enough to let the rear end down enough.

if its not the shocks, I can almost guarantee your problem is a bent or miswelded spring perch. Sometime people jack their cars up from that point which is a BAD idea!

pjb i needed the extra few to get the drivers side out so yes i did.

blkss the rear was brand new when i got it so its not from jacking it up. however the pass side was a half in off from the drivers side. the drivers side looks so fortified and the pass is just welded to the tube. but it looks a little tilted to so the spring isnt straight up and down its kinda leaning out a bit.

with all that being said for some reason even though the perches are 1/2 an inch off the rear is even again. it must have been switching the springs worked or something because with everything tightened back down both sides sit 27 1/4 from the ground to quarter panel. which i am thrilled with, also the spring isolators make a huge difference, f**k the heater hose mod.
