Whole setup, “doesn't rotate much” what I wanted to hear.
Amazing how ‘off’ the suspension is, to get rear square to car I had to move axel spring perch back on pin 1/8” (right side was more forward)


Calvert recommends 2 to 3 degrees of pinion angle with the bars parallel to the ground and a small gap. Need to put weight in the driver seat when making your adjustments.

What I always did. We had horses back in the day and wife bought 50 pound bags of feed, I put 5 bags in the driver seat then adjust the weight and 4 link bars. I did a lot of freebies back then all the buddies cars, rears, suspensions, motors and trans, but just a hobby
