Default Rear end adjustments

The panhard bar was centered(it was off about 1/4")to the frame. Now it is off about 1/16" - every time we lower the car and jacked it back up, the measurement changed slightly. This require several cycles before settling on 1/16"(which I am happy with for now). Also, we changed out one heim joint on the driver's side trailing arm bar, then verified that both trailing arms were of equal length from inside of rear mounting bracket to the frame point of connection. The pinion angle was then set. I had done the adjustments myself a couple of days prior to my ex-drag racer mechanic friend, but we rechecked and adjusted everything again at his shop. I haven't driven the car a lot since the repair due to the cold weather. But, when it warms up a bit, I'll do a couple of test burn outs and see what happens - both with and without the brake line lock. Thanks for the 8 o'clock tip - I'll try it for sure. Yes, I used the new line lock my very last race, the one described in my previous post. That's why I was surprised that the car drifted right when standing still - until I saw the GoPro video. How does it respond at launch with some traction you ask? I have a track photo that shows both front tires about 4 inches off the ground at launch - and with drag radials. I tried to attach the photo to this message, hope it works
