Hi Guys,
I have a Moser 9" "Bolt-in" set-up that I finally got together and under the car last night. Problem(s) is for one the upper "ears" are angled several degrees outward and not totally in line with the UCA's but was still able to get the bolts in. Lowers went right in with a little "rolling" of the rear but I know that's usual. UCA are HR Parts Street/Strip ADJ & LCA's are HR Parts also standard length. Once it was bolted up the shock stud in the lower bracket was in a crazy up by probably 30* situation while the shock is at a totally different angle and stud should be in a "down" angle to match to install. So....I though MAYBE I could extend the uppers and "roll" it enough to "correct" that to lower the stud. Once I did the uppers are SO LONG and the the pinion angle is in a ridiculous up angle just to get the shocks on. Now the rear binds with very little up/down articulation.
I called Moser and they want me to strip it back down ship it back so they can set it in their jig and see if they sent me the correct housing or what the problem may be.
Now that I've extended the UCA's and no longer have the stock ones to compare to....what is the original length center-to-center that they should be back at to start this process all over again once I get things corrected? I lost count of how many turns I made in an attempt to correct these other problems.
Suggestions PLEASE?!?!?
Thank you...
BTW...An upside is that...it's certainly nice to have a lift to do all this!
