[QUOTE="Norm07, post: 142239, member: 3937"] As Xfire82 did, I was careful to note the location and exact sizes of the shims when I removed my trailing arms. I replaced them the same way. I found it didn't take much to mess up the alignment. I tried some different combinations of spacers but my best set up was the same one that was originally on the car. On one side there were no spacers at all on the outside of the bushing, it was right against the frame.I used the string method (shown in my pics). Obviously it's much easier when the body is off. As far as the bolt issue you have, I know mine was off and when everything was put in place, shocks, 1/2 shafts etc, and the suspension was "loaded" it corrected itself. I don't think mine was off as much as yours. And.....make sure your 4 spring bolt are not tightened until after there is ....load on the spring/car off jackstands, wheels on etc..
