Anyone had this problem on the scales

I’m building an 84 Rx7 12a Ep car and it is almost completed, so I put it on the scales this weekend and not sure what is going on. The left front was heavy and the left rear was light so I moved the battery to the left rear but when I did that the right rear gained weight not the left. So I move the battery to the right rear and everything worked out, almost 50-50 all the way around. So my question is does the watts link work like a sway bar (by the way the front and rear sway bar are removed). This is not my first car that I put on the scales but this is the first one acted like this. Any Help would be good.

Thanks
Bill

Are you sure you don't have the scales hooked up backwards?

I did not plug the scales in, so I'm going to check that tonight. I hope that is the problem. I guess I'm getting old and I should have check that. I will let you know if that was the problem.

Thanks
