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?
Interesting about the 1/4".
Your's is the 4th LSC I know of with this difference.Found it on mine first.
I forget now if the lower left link length ended up longer or shorter.
No big deal,just get it square.

After you have everything finished up,( axle square,pinion angle),and take it out for a drive there is one final adjustment you might need.If the rearend wants to go left with spinning the tires ,add 1/8-1/4 turn of preload to the upper right bar.Take preload out if it wants to go right.
