Thrust Angle (aka Dog Tracking)
Just finished my Belltech 1001HKP install. The rear has a flip kit with drop hangers in the front of the leaf spring.
After installation I noticed my rear wheel center is .25”-.5” off from each side. I also noticed this with the makeshift alignment I did with fishing wire. I will eventually get it aligned and will know the exact thrust angle, but for now all I have is string and a ruler to determine. I also haven’t found someone to drive it so I can follow to confirm. Again just going off of measurements.
Anyone else have slight variances in their rear wheels after lowering or problems with wandering?
The culprit seems to be the hangers, but need to see what angle it comes back with at the shop.
