Re:[Chevelle-List] Rear End shimming(Suspension?)

I believe that adjustable upper control arms may help you. You can adjust pinion angle. Are your control arm bushings in decent shape? Recently lots of traffic at chevelle tech on BMR/BNR adjustable arms. Supposedly very good pricing compared tot the big names. -- "Dave Benjamin" <

Did you add GM positraction Additive? Not sure if its necessary with non GM posi units, but it does quiet down strange noises in GM units. When I had the rear redone, rebuilder did use it. I don't think that it could hurt. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi All, while were on the subje
