    Rear alignment issues

    Threw away the lower TC rods before measuring them to set our adjustable , any have a bolt to bolt measurement for me? Our axles are not 90 to the trans, they point a bit forward, is that right? Measurements on I'll of the links would save us a ton of time if any can spare a few measuring minutes!!
    Thanks!

    Hi Jeff
    Here is a picture with the lengths of the forward link and the upper lateral link.

    The axles do point a little forward.
    I could not find the Lower lateral links. Maybe some one else has them handy.

    Ya, I have those, my screw up was not matching the stock trailing arm to the new adjustable one. Thanks for the info, I feel better about the axel pointing an inch forward. THe upper arm sure is close to the coil over spring.....

    I have an OEM arm here off the car, measures 16-5/32 center to center on the mounting holes.
