so are you saying the spring rate slowly drops and this causes a similar drop in ride height
|
The OE springs drop in spring rate over time and they sag. It ends up lower than it was stock. If you are lucky, the springs sag at the same time/same amount!!

I'd still like to see pics of your toe links and the inside adjusters!!
Something is not right.. and without seeing it, I can not figure it out.
Just hold your phone under the car and start snapping away in the general direction of the toe link!! then post the ones that turned out!!

When we install the solid bushings, we have to heat up the end of the toe link to press them in. It takes nearly NO pressure to press them out.

so the left is wrong and the right is right- to me it seems the only diff is which end has the nut and which has the bolt head... the throw's the same and there's washers (eccentrics) on either side of the frame, either way- am I missing something?

I believe the rear of the suspension hanger is different where the eccentric sits.

Can you run a tape measure from ground to the fender lip in the rear?
Metric is fine
Measure through the axle centerline.

How smart are the alignment guy's? If they are trying to adjust toe by twisting the nut.. they will never get there.

The car in my pic is 26.5 (and you can see the adjuster)
I have another car in the shop at 25.0 (and it had to have the rear toe links)
