Earlier this month I asked for advice regarding TRF upgraded road springs.
I'd installed a set and was unhappy with the excessive road height. I decided
to return them and in their place I've put in TRF stock grade springs and am
satisfied with the results. I also replaced ball joints, shocks, and bushings
following Haynes & Bentley for guidance. Now the problem:
I had it aligned today and the front caster was still out of spec, reading:
After: Right-1.7 degrees Left-2.0 degrees.
Before: Right+1.1 degrees Left+.8 degrees.
They said that caster isn't adjustable and Bentley agrees.
Any wisdom as to why these changes were for the worse and not better? Did I
overlook something?
Also, the driver's side of the body rides about 3/4" lower than the right
side. I assumed that the new springs would fix this. Where do I look here?
Frame out of whack? Body mounts? Other?
Any and all advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard Leopold
