aldan eagle shock question
When I first got my 29 it had aldan coil overs on it.. the car was leaning to the right.. in the rear ( has sadle tanks and the battery on the right side).. I took all kinds of measurments and found everything to be equal as far as brackets etc... then I found that all the shock bolts were bent.. I replaced them and it made a big difference (gas tanks almost empty) after filling the car I once again got a lean to the right.. so I have come to the conclusion that the spring rate needs to be upped to stop the lean... now with the bolts all being bent.. I recently finished the car and took it for a drive down the highway and noticed that every big bump felt as if it launced the rear so the conclution I came to here is that the shocks aren't adjusted correct and that is why the bolts also were bent... now the shocks have adjustment knobs on the top of them but I don't know how or which way to turn these and how much of a difference a small turn would make... does any one have any info on this that can give me some insight on this problem here is the car
