Please understand no complain for Ridetech product and yes it is Saturday so tech support is closed..

Ok, I got all the rear end suspension parts bolted up, got the 4 link bar installed, trailing arms bolted in under car, spring purch bracket for trailing arm bolted up on the leaf spring purch with u-bolts, shocks are bolted up...BUT, the rear and is not centered in the car..Axle tube brackets are equal on the tubes....

How in the world do you center the rear end under the car to make clearance for your tires? Rear end is pushed too far to the left now 3/4 off...

How can I adjust/compensate for this, Got me puzzled.....:hairpullout:

You use the upper control arms to move the rear end side-to-side.

Are your upper links currently the same length?

Yeah that should do it. When we first installed mine it was off too. Adjusting the length of the upper bars fixed it. Just play with it, adjusting one in and the other out will move it side to side.

I bought one of Prodigy's Moser 4 link rear ends. The pinion angle was off so instead of cutting off and rewelding all the brackets on thear end we installed adjustable rod ends on the lower bars too which gave use even more adjustability.

If your pinion angle is on the money, adjust one upper only to move the rear end side to side. This will keep your pinion angle in check.
