Rear was 34.5 now at 39.5. I like it :thumbup:
I have vibrations from 30 to 40 miles, :shrug:
lil body roll on a hwy, yes Drew got his way - my sway bar is off.
Anyway it was a long day, just want to say big thanks to Drew and John. :thumbup: :worthy: :thanks:

Good to hear. :thumbup:

If you want to get an earlier start on Saturday, we could head over to my parent's place and work on the front there, as opposed to waiting for Drew to get off work at 2. Just a thought, and not trying to undercut you here Drew, but I believe Serge is planning on hitting the Drive-in on Saturday evening.

Probably because the front isn't done yet so the pinion angle is exaggerated or you didn't listen to me and you put the shims on backwards or you didn't listen to me and get the centre bolt washer and the axle is in the wrong position! :teeth:

Ok, shims are fat end to the front, and we put washers to lift center bolt head out of the shim. We made sure the bolt head is in the hole. I dont know, i'll have to see the front end done, which will transfer more weight to the back.
