Default Rearend Position.

On my 2000 T/A im starting to build the rear suspension / chassis. One thing I noticed was that when I look at my car from the side my wheel seems to be located closer to my back bumber compared to the distance it is to the door. Its the same distance on both sides of the car. I was wondering what would be needed to center the rearend inside the wheel well. Just as a quick thought I think a set of adjustable LCA's and a adjustable TA would be needed. Any ideas on this?

Correct, a set of adjustable LCA's would fix it.

yeah, if it's not TOO far off, you probably won't need the adjustable torque arm to correct it, since the front of the t/a can slide front/back in the bushing.....although, an adjustable t/a would be a good upgrade, anyway

Ok I just didnt know if there was anything else in the way. The reason I was considering an adjustable TA was to adjust the pinion angle created when the axle was adjusted forward.

your pinion angle will not change just by adjusting the length of the LCA's, especially if it's a non-adjustable torque arm....the angle of the LCA's will change first....however, if the car's ride height is ever changed, it will....so if you are lowered, or ever plan to lower, get an adjustable one
