Thread: I'm raising my engine this week-end - words of advice?

Tweet

I would check to make sure your drive shaft angle is correct once you make any changes. Incorrect D/S angle will wear out u-joints prematurely.

I may have missed a thread somewhere, but I'm wondering why you want to raise the engine?

Yes, see the recent "suspension and clearance" thread - In short my crank wheel is scrapping on my tie rod so we have been brainstorming to find ways to work this problem out...

Well ... you could have a dropped drag link ... and leave everything else alone ...

Any decent rod shop could make one ...

The rod comes from the spindle ... drops drop a inch or two and goes straight for a foot and then comes back up ... to the other spindle.
I tried to find a photo on the web ... without sucess ...
