My 77 Palm Beach 403 is 1" low in the front. I would like to set the ride height to factory specs to get a better ride and steering, etc.
Everything steering and suspension is new except the steering column.
I had a front end alignment from a local truck shop, set the toe and caster/camber.
I can raise the height by adjusting the torsion bars (6 turns to = 1").
What would this do to my caster/camber setting?
Will set rear height when front is set.
Is this a big deal?
Drives ok, but could be better. A lot of wander.
Would like the front wheel extensions, but want to solve this first.
Whaddya think?
Thanks.
