Rear end Alignment??

How do you go about aligning the rear of our cars? That is if you have stock PHR and LCAs.

You don't. It's a solid axle, everything is set to whatever tolerance the factory makes it...

That's what I thought. I was told that because I lowered my car that I would need a rear end alignment. I thought they were full of BS. Thanks for the help Dave.

Well, an adjustable PHR will allow you to recenter your rearend since you lowered the car. I haven't lowered my car, but I hear it is a good idea to get an adjustable PHR if you lower your car.

>I put wider wheels (50mm offset) on the rear and used the adjustable PHR from BMR to center my 12 bolt rear end .
at one time the rear was sticking out more towards one side then the other , now I got them about even .

Yep, I'm aware. I got an adjustable PHR when I purchased my lowering springs.

LCA brackets are a good idea as well.
