I noticed that too. It hasn't been back up on the lift so I didn't notice. Since driving it around, the front has settled and my negative camber has increased, I'll address that next along with the jam nut. Good eye partner.

I figure the lefthand thread is why it happened,,, I bet you tightened it ,but it just went the wrong way :lol: :lol: probably better check the other side too. It cant go anywhere,,,unless the other jam nut backs off. :roll:

Have you laid into yet? :P we haven't had a power report yet. how's it drive? looks like it'd be a blast to drive!

Joe, it is a blast to drive. The big Mustang sway bar eliminates body roll. It does have the infamous wheel hop. I forgot to ask that the front of my leaf springs be wrapped when I ordered them, that makes a big difference. I'm amazed at the torque those mid 90's small blocks have. I'm sure it's the GT40 heads and roller cam. And speaking of which. They're known for weak springs. I bought the kit from Alex's parts. It has double springs, proper retainers for the offset stem grooves and the proper Viton seals for those heads. The way to go in my opinion. He knows his stuff.
