Boy, I can't thank you guys enough! http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif I did almost everything suggested and here is what I found. First of all, the frame was square. I measured from the passenger front to drivers rear (and vice-versa) and the measurements were within a 1/4in. Next, I loosened everything up front and back and bounced the heck out of it. If you remember form my previous post, my differencess were huge, but once I put it down and tightened everything up, the front is now 28 1/8 and passenger side 28. The rear changed sides somewhat on me. The drivers side is 26 and passenger side 26 1/2.(the passenger side was lower to begin with) http://www.chevelles.com/forum/confused.gif I believe I will go with new upper and lower rear control arms (i need boxed ones and a sway bar anyway) and see what happens. I still have some issues with the passenger side quarter. It defenitely has been replaced, and not very well. Doing some measurements, I beleive the quarter is not on the car perfectly, giving me the apperarence of some lean.After I measure from the back over the bumper, everything is almost perfect. The bumper is also slanted to the passenger side, but again, once I measure reference points (like from the floor to tail lights, everything is perfect)It's probably going to the body/paint shop this fall and hopefully all this can be corrected at that time.

Again, I would like to thank each and eveyone of you who replied. I literally had all the posts printed out and lying in my my creeper with me.

Thanks again!

We do try here! I think your measurements are within tolerances now and once you redo the bushings they will prolly be even closer.

jerryr,

glad to see your stuff worked out. I learned this deal about pre-loaded bushings the hard way myself, what a painful deal it was.

JR,
Thanks for posting what you found, it's good to hear of a problem being solved. That will probably help someone as much as all the advice that was given.
