Can get rear suspension square need help. I've been trying to get my rear end square with 28x10.5' and I can seem to get it right. the drivers tire sits pretty even in the well (front to back) But the pass side, even with the LCA shortened all the way is still about 3/8" too far to the rear. Anyone else ever have this provlem? any suggestions?
rear susp;
stock springs w/ heater hose
QA1 shocks
BMR tunnel mounted TA
9"
stock swaybar
Pavlock PHB/LCA
I think the lca went from 21" down to 20 5/8" after I adjusted them IIRC

I'd like to know also. I basically have the same setup as you and i'm having the same exact problem. My driver's side looks dead on and my passenger side is basically almost hitting my rear bumper.

Just get a tape measure and square and start adjusting the Panhard bar to swing the rear to where it needs to be and the LCA's to bring the wheels forward or backwards. I'll probably eventually do a write up on something like this when I start putting my car together.

I measured LCA's end to end. I look visually at the front to back centering and measusure from the edge of the door to the face of the rim when measuring. for centering the wheels left to right I hung a string from the quarter panel (I think I used some markings on the hatch for a benchmark and measures to the face of the wheel. that was within 1/16"

There are jig points on the rear frame rail that can be used for reference (All the way aft). In the aircraft world when rigging flight controls, I usually find that if one side of a rod end is maxed out one way or another, the other side is going to be the issue. You can't square one side, then mess with the other. More than likely you will have to tinker with both sides during the entire process.
