so my car is lowered in the rear. 3 splines, with notched spring plates. 165's

the front gas a 3.5" narrowed beam, drops, 135's.

its a 62 bug on a 68 pan, long axle. the drivers rear wheels sits nice. the passenger side cambers way more, and the tire sits in the wheel well about 3" more. both axles and tubes are the same length, the body is not tweaked, both rear fenders are german. i sawed the rear shock mounts off the body to clear the pan. i know.

makes no sense to me...

any ideas?

thanks.
brett.

Measure from the pan to the ground on both sides. Measuring from the fenders is meaningless since they may have been replaced over the last 44 years with inaccurate fitting repro fenders.
To correct the height, you have to raise the low side at the rear. There's nothing you can do at the front to correct this.
