I've been trying to figure out why Ms. Scarlet is leaning on the drivers side and was hoping ya'll could help me out. It scares me a bit, as my last yellow bugeye was pretty bent up.
The rear leafs are the "S" bend ones, assuming from Winners Circle. The drivers side rear is 1" lower on the drivers side than the passengers side. I figure its just a sagging leaf, so I called a shop that re-arcs leafs, and they said to measure the difference in the wheel arch, send them the low spring, and they will do what they do to make it right. Seems all too simple, as it seems the bend and spring rate determines the ride height. But part two.....
The front drivers side is low as well, a bit less however. I replaced both front springs with Moss lowering springs thinking the same, a sagging spring. But the drivers side is still low. Drivers side is 1 1/2" from top of tire to bonnet arch, and passengers is 2 1/2". Now to the inner fender its drivers side 2 3/8 from top of the tire to top of inner fender and 2 3/4" on the passengers. Okay, that would mean the bonnet is sitting lower on the drivers side, which it appears the reveal of the bonnet is further down compared to the arch on the drivers side, where as the passenger side its level. The bonnet reveals are clean and equal all the way around. This confuses me.
Okay, thoughts? Hopefully I explained that clearly
