Re: 55 make over

i also got into the rear suspension and since we are ridding the coilover setup and replacing with bags is going to be nice. i did remove the coil overs to discover that they had one in such a bind it actually bent the shaft in the coil over! the four link bushings were completely shot and if not partially missing. so i ordered new bushings and got that all back to good and adjusted correctly, i think previously it may have been running slightly dog legged down the road because my beginning measurements showed the rear axle to be crooked, which might of been the cause of the tire rubbing on the passenger side? but who knows; crooked bed installed also? but either way the axle is setting centered a bit better.
