Problems after suspension rebuild

GSXcite said

I guess I'll try it and see. If it doesn't correct it I will tear it apart and check for a torn bushing. I did rebuild the driveshaft and installed new spider gears in the differential, but the problem occurred before and after that work. Do I have the process that I outlined in my original post correct?

Basically yes, but really it's even easier than that. All that has to happen is that you loosen the LCA pivot shaft nuts and UCA camber bolt nuts and then tighten them again at ride height. So you could do all of that with the car sitting on the ground, just loosen the LCA nuts, loosen the camber bolt nuts, jounce the suspension to make sure everything is freed up and then retighten the LCA pivot nuts and UCA camber bolts.

The problem with that is if you loosen the UCA bolts you run the risk of needing to have the alignment redone.

And of course, if the bushings are already damaged it won’t do anything to fix that.
