    IRS Suspension Clearance

    I've done a poor man's alignment on my IRS until I can get it to a shop. Slightly toe'd in and negative camber, but the clearance for the rear suspension is really close, is that normal?

    Trying to upload a photo but not having any luck, I'll upload when able. But's less than a finger width from the tire to the spring.

    Apparently Microsoft Edge and the forum don't work well together

    Many have reported tight clearance or even interference in that area. Mainly before alignment. You should be OK after it's accurately aligned. Not to worry...
