The car was sagging so we replaced the rear springs. New springs and
perch pads to be exact. Got it back together and took it for a drive -
first turn to the right and I had tire rub on the driver's side.
Checked it and the driver's tire was moved way back towards the rear
of the wheel well from when I left the driveway.
Came home and pulled that side apart - the top pad was not completely
aligned with the hole in the perch. Realigned it. Measured it and both
sides were equal distance tire to body. Backed the car up and came
forward twice. Remeasured and the driver's tire had cut the distance
to the fender in half. All four nuts on the u-bolts are tight. The
bottom perch is against the block that goes over the leaf yet
something somewhere is moving.
Any insight is appreciated.
