Brake rotors by the pumpkin and all?

Maybe it's a GM thing, because the controls arms on an f-body move the rear end forward and backward. The Panhard bar moves the rear housing left-to-right.


What is different about a fox body? Don't the control arms run longitudinal with the car or are the uppers angled enough to allow some lateral movement?


Just trying to educate myself.

Back almost 10 years ago I didn't really have the skills/tools to weld on my own spring perches when I finally swapped an 8.8 into my '70 (after breaking a few 8" rears). The shop that did the work for me made the rear almost 5/16 of an inch wider on the passenger side. So to compensate and make my wheels fit the same in the fenders I've ran a 1/4" spacer on the driver side. It's worked perfect for me for almost 10 years.....The car tracks straight as an arrow.

But my problem was minimal, his is much worse.
