Default 4-bars and chassis stuff

I am sorting out my LSC 427 Cobra and was wondering if anyone has verified that their live axle rear end is properly aligned with the chassis. I have established the centerline of my frame based on the front and rear suspension component attachements and from this found the true perpendicular line. It is from this P-line I think I should alingn my rear axle housing for zero thrust angle.

I found that the attachment points for the lower bars are not square with the center line of the frame by 1/4 inch which equates to 0.34 degrees for my application. Based on this I need to have the drivers side lower link 1/4 inch ( out of 12 inch nominal) then the passenger side to get the rear end square up with the frame for zero thrust angle.

Not a huge amount but a little larger then I expected. I hope I do not encounter binding of the links with this much offset.



Anyone have experience with such matters?
