Strano springs and koni’s, rear alignment issue
Hello,
i just installed a set of Koni SRT shocks and Strano springs. The drivers side of the rear end seems to be pushed backward and not in line with the passenger side. As you can see in the pictures the passenger side spring is seated firmly and the driver side spring is not seated properly (picture taken with car on the ground).
the car has a Strange 12 bolt and an adjustable panhard bar, does this look like something adjusting the panhard bar would fix? (Figured the panhard rod only adjust the rear from side to side in the car as opposed to front to back) my second thought is a set of adjustable lower control arms could help move the drivers side of the rear end forward. Or maybe it’s something totally different????

How was the alignment with the other springs and shocks? I just put the same setup on my car (on a 10 bolt) and didn't notice anything being out of alignment. Looking at the picture, I would say adjustable LCA's would help since they help to center the wheel in the arch, but it also looks to be rolled forward a bit (could be the angle of the pic).

Looks like that one coil is stuck on the spring seat. I would take weight off it and rotate the spring until it sits on the spring seat.
Is your pinion angle set up right? The axle looks rotated. If you have welded on lowering brackets they could have been welded incorrectly and your axle isn't centered in the wheel well.

Is everything attached? My S60 was like this for about an hour, I have stranos and the comp 3 way adjustable. Once i bolt everything together (took some rubber mallet in places to move it around) It sat in its perfect position, My s60 was also pushed back on the passenger side until i connected everything, LCA, driveshaft, etc
