Re: need some help with rear suspension:

THANKS FOR THE INPUTS EVERYONE.

I've tried to grind some off of the flange and will try some more later in the week and let everyone know.

the odd part for me is that it's only the right side - the left clears fine! So I will check to see if i may have the trans / engine angled on the mounts.

Peter, One more thing - when my suspension is at full droop, the upper rear trailing link bottoms on the rear chassis (angled portion of frame that goes up to the roll bar mount / top of shock mount etc). So, I'm not sure if the 1/2 shafts are all of the way extended or not.

Bill, while i agree with you about the "airborne" part on the street - both Sears Point (carrousel entry - remember the old bmw's!) and Thunder Hill (lover's leap on the rear section of track) have sections where we typically get very "light" at speed and just don't want to chance ripping that side off if it would happen.

thanks again for the inputs everyone!
