Don’t spend a day trying to figure out if your frame is torqued until you adjust your dang adjustable track bar to center your frame on the front suspension!!
I took my Bronco out for the first trip around the block. It was riding crooked as heck. Since I had installed all new Duff suspension, brakes, body mounts, shocks, etc. I figured it couldn’t be anything but the frame. Pissed as heck, I spent the next day taking measurements. It was way off...then my elementary school geometry and weight distribution logic kicked in. I measured the frame vs front end and it was kicked to the driver side by 2.5”. That put more weight on the driver side suspension and in turn was lower. I knew it was crooked but didn’t think about the weight distribution. Any who.....fixed it in 30 minutes with a come along and adjusting the track bar length. Easy breezy and common sense...if you think about it...but I didn’t.
Anybody else have a “note to self” situation.
