Default ? For the Experts... Rear End Location...

2001 WS6

Has 19" Rims All Stock Suspension.

Had bad wheel hop. Installed Weld In LCA Relocation Brackets.

Fixed the wheel hop.

Here is the issue: I now noticed the rear end sits back in the wheel well. When we put it up on the drive on lift. I noticed the springs are actually arced from the rear end sitting back in the wheel well. It sits far enough back to be noticed almost not normal I guess.

Any ideas appreciated.

I've seen a lot of stock rears located .5 back in the wheelwell from the factory, and .5 towards the passenger side of the car. It normally isn't evident until you put larger and wider tires on the car. Adjustable lower control arms will allow you to bring the rear further forward. If the rear is also off side to side an adjustable panhard bar will take care of it. Bob
