whats the factory setting? did you transfer over the parts from you exsisting suspension? and did you make sure to throw away the packing nut that comes on the top of them...?

sounds like you tracking is all over the shop...

this is your problem... it must be within the factory settings (0 to -1 degree..)


to make it higher just use the C spanners to adjust the rings at the bottom of the springs
