I just put on a new rear end with all new 1" drop suspension, and When I lowered the car, it seems that the right side is a whole 1.5 inches higher than the right. I'm thinking it's the watts link but I don't know. How do I fix it?

 

Find away to keep it even and tighten the watts link back up? I just jacked up the rear diff (I had jack stands supporting the body) and adjusted from there.

 

loosen everything and make sure you jack up the rear end with 2 jackstands on each side so that its even... then tighten..

Also, which springs are you running?

 

^I beat you by a min lol

 

psh, w/e i just woke up

@ OP or you could go with a respeed setup, and be able to change ride height very easily

if you just use a jack on the rear it might not be perfect, using 2 stands is better

 

Suspension techniques 1" drop and tokico blue shocks

 

Are those the adjustable struts?

 

Unfortunately no

 

the blues are hps.. its like a 3 or 4 on the whites aka illuminas

 

Can the HPs/blues handle a 1in drop for a decent period of time?

 

ya.. 1 inch drop is nothing lol

 

Yeah it's really not that much lower at all haha

So I'm thinking with the car on the ground I should loosen all the watts link bolts and then tighten them again?

 

do it for the 4link as well. also make sure the spring is sitting correctly on the rear

 

Yeah I checked the spring

 

And make sure you don't have an old shock bushing stuck up inside the shock tower (happened to me once).

But as others have already mentioned, it is very important that the suspension is tightened in the "compressed" state.

let me know if that fixes your problem. i tried to do the same last weekend and it didnt change. im starting to think i put the watts pivot on backwards. does anyone know what the correct position is the the middle piece of thee watts linkage? this is driving me crazy.
