Static Drops!!!

Wierd, the site shows a 6 in drop with the wheels sitting the same as my 3 in drop. My 5 in drop was tucking the rear tires!

I took my truck in to check alignment as it jumps around a little bit when in full lock and found out tire may be rubbing lower control arm. I'm getting the control arm cut out in that area and boxed to regain strength (I'll take pics).

My Firebird did this for the longest time, never bothered fixing it though as the alignment was perfect. Think it has to do some what with tie rod adjustments and how they affect the accerman (SP) angles.. In other words, at full lock the inside tire in the turn makes a sharper turn than the outside. I'd assume under certain circumstances, that angle could be affected, thus making one tire or the other not follow in the same arc as the other, making it bounce and scuff some. My dad mentioned it's sometimes normal on a few cars.
