[QUOTE="St33da, post: 345305, member: 8757"] First of all this is in regards to my fox mustang, not an sn. I would ask this question over on corral or something, however I have found the tech on these boards to be extremely above average. Ok, I finally got around to doing my 5 lug conversion on my stang today. All went well and when I let the car off the jack stands and got it on the ground I noticed that my drivers side front sits approximately 3/8" lower than my passenger front. I thought that possibly the passenger side spring has some how rotated out of its correct position causing it to be raised. I disassembled the front passenger side and all looks well. I know that fox body mustangs are know to have this lean, however I feel that mine is more than average. Usually this wouldn't be such a big deal, however I find that my tire rubs on the drivers side occasionally, but only in the right condition. I have ruled out the possibility of springs, considering the ones in my car are only about 4 months old or so. I did the 5 lug conversion with 95 spindles. The rear has hardened axles from TMD. Any ideas as to why my car has such a noticeable lean? Any input is greatly appreciated. BTW, this is a perfect chance to whore a pic of the car with its new rims. Crappy cell phone pic, but better than nothing :) [IMG]http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n166/genxracer9520/90%20GT%202/02-23-08_1801.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
