72 Dodge Challenger Ride Height

[Dan JR Goodman]

Hey guys

hope all is well. I am still have minor issues with the ride height. Before I had to ride in the 100's to get it not to bottom out and not grind when I take off. I was ok for awhile riding around the 70's and the ride was fantastic, now it seems I have to raise back to 100's again and also to correct the grind when take off. My son will post later, he measured the angle you needed to know. I will live with everything for now, but maybe when you come back out to Daytona in fall you can have a look this time?

thanks

What is grinding? Is the drive shaft hitting something?

I doubt if anything is hitting, it sounds like coming from the rear end. With all the changes that we did and I really appreciate all your help , the car, at bottom the car does not sit level, ( all settings at or near 0 ) nor at ride height, nor at the top with regards to the rear. The front works fine. The rear has the setting around 119 and the other side around 74. I reversed the connections and no differance, in order for the car to sit level. When I put the car at that level it looks great and rides ok without the noise. If I bring the rear down to 70's and 60's it sits a little high on 1 side and makes the noise in the rear end. This is why when Brit was last in Orlando I was hoping to hook up to see what I needed to do to correct this, but he was unavailable. Let me know what you think

thanks

Istead of looking at pressure... what is the ride height of the SHockwave when you are at Ride Height ?

Where do you guys consider the height of the stock. Eye to eye, base of each end before the eyes?

What should the pinion angle be at what we'd consider 'ride height'? Given the racheting/shutter goes away with a higher rear height, I'd think the pinion angle could be changed to be set correctly at a lower level to get the right look.

From what i remember about the building of the car, was the pinion angle was not able to be setup before it was returned to us. So i'm assuming it needs to addressed.

why is there a pressure gauge, if the pressure is not equal to make the car ride level? instead of looking at the pressure should get out and make sure the car is level?

At ride height you should have approximately 13" from center eye to center eye.
