  • rear sagging and tires weird

    yeah so after the long trip to FL my rear is saggin and with th added wight from the roll bar .....

    so do they make springs that are a higher load then stock?

    this area is deff not my cup of tea so any great advise would good....

    oh yeah forgot.........

    i was looking at the rear of the car one day and the tires stick out past the fender more on one side then the other

    ok so i changed my rear (to the Z rear) i may need a ADJ PHB right? well the front does it too on the same side? anyone else notice this?
    one side the tire is flush with the fender and that other side it stick out past it

    i have 275's and all 4 are 275's..... lol any ideas

    Of course. 93-97 V6 Fbods, for instance, have softer springs front and rear than the 98-02. For 93-97, V8 springs were higher rates at all corners, wherease from 98-02 V6's and V8's shared the same rear springs. You could either get some V8 springs from 93-97, V6 springs from 98-02, or V8 springs from 98-02. All would have higher rates than yours.

    Otherwise you could go aftermarket. In most cases the aftermarket springs will drop the car at least a little bit.

    EDIT: didn't read the last part the first time. I'm surprised that happened with the V8 springs. Anyway an adjustable PHB would in fact correct that problem.

        Adjustable panhard rod will allow you to recenter the rear.

        Assuming the car was not wrecked and bent, the fronts may simply need a little adjusting. How far out is it? If you look at the bolts of the lower control arm, the holes are slotted to allow front end alignment. Are the bolts pushed the same way in the slots on both sides?
