Preload is done on the right(passenger) upper link.

Turning right = more preload (shortened), turning left = less preload (lengthened). This is adjusted on the upper right bar one flat at a time. If you have to adjust more than three flats something else is maladjusted.


If it ain't broke fix it anyway!

Good luck. I will be racing the Jegs Sportsnationals here next weekend myself. Hopefully I drive better than I did in Salt Lake

if you adjusted the bottom bar you just screwed up the rear being square.

Bottom bars set the wheelbase, upper bars set the pinion angle and right upper bar then sets the preload. That's how I do mine.

Right upper bar shorter, if you have a diagonal link be sure to recenter the axle after adjustment with all the weight on it (ride height).
