Eibach Drag Launch kit and now my rear is twisted.
Eibach Drag Launch kit and now my rear is twisted.
Ok, a little background.
I have the tranny out so the torque arm and driveshaft are out of the car. I decided to put the rear springs and shocks on while waiting for my headers to come back from Jet Hot. Got the rear Eibachs in, was a real PITA, and the KYB AGX rear shocks in but now my pinion is pointing at the sky and when the rear sits on the ground the springs are not straight up and down but the lower spring seat is tilted back and the springs are bent a little, now I have my floor jack on the lower mount for the Panhard rod and jacked it up which tilts the rear forward and lines everything back up.
The question is did I do something wrong or will it all line back up right when I put the Torque arm back on?
Will it damage the coil springs to be tweaked like that?

The only purpose of the torque arm is to keep the rear axle assembly from rotating. Correctly set, it holds the relationship between the pinion shaft and the driveshaft approximately constant, and controls pinion angle. Remove the TA and there is nothing to keep the TA from rotating out of position.
