Well I had a bit of an accident the other day, I managed to slide the car into a curb. Dumb, I know. Anyway, I bent the drivers axle flange, bent a rim and destroyed a perfectly good trim ring. Limped the car home. Heres what I have done so far. Replaced both axles with moser 28 spline c-clips, replaced both sets of bearings, new cover for rear. New shock plates and leaf spring pads, replaced t-bolts with u-bolts.

Car is not back on the ground yet because I noticed that the leaf springs have shifted a bit on the front eye bushings, both leafs moved about 1/4 to 3/8" to the right.

Is this a problem with the driveline angles, etc?
will the car track funny?
Do you think that the springs will settle back into place?

I plan on eventually replacing the leaf springs, shackles, eye bushings and shocks, and adding either cal tracs or slide a links, I also intend to buy a BGH 8.5" 10 bolt.

Am I good to go, I really just want the car back on the road. No more gigantic burnouts I promise. :D

I would check and make sure the axle is centered, or close, under the car. Many are off a lil bit, and I'd consider shifting the springs in the eye bushings as an acceptable way to correct it, tho there not room to do much.

You can use a peice of all-thread, some nuts and washers, and a short peice of pipe to press them back where they need to be. They are not gonna move by themselves.

Thanks Jim - hey almost 14,000 posts!

wow, so it is, that one snuck up on me. Here's # 14,000 just for you!

He, He!!

Ain't supposed ta be drifting our cars where curbs can bite you!!

You probably shifted the front spring mounts over that amount b/c there is enough slop up in there to do it..

Check them both out and I hope that you are lucky and didn't tweek your rearend housing...............
