Re: Spring spacers

I replaced upper and lower control arm bushings and bushings shafts., used all moog stuff and yes i did install lower shaft to align with knob on chassis. Replace upper and lower ball joints, tie rod ends etc.

The springs are sitting in pockets top and bottom. I do see that the spring is not centered going up towards the top pocket.. almost touching chassis towards the front. The passenger side sits centered and perfect.

I cannot find and indication that frame is bent, or hit anywhere hard.

Not sure if I did anything wrong when rebuilding from end to mess up spring alignment

Any help greatly appreciated

Only thing I can think of is did you replace Cab and Core Support mounts?
