[attachment=31826:ce3a_1.jpeg][attachment=31825:0b11_1.jpeg]I have a 1993 ext 580z. I have rebuilt the rear skid and i noticed that the rear swing arm "idle arm" that the has the limiter strap conected to it. my arm sits slightly forward about 10 degress where as most i see sit about 5 degress back. Im concerned that the rear suspension is not going to work right with this arm in the wrong position. i have tried to adjust the read strap but it does not seem to change the position of the idle arm that the strap conects to. please give me some help i have atached some pics for you to see.[attachment=31824:IMAGE_00060.jpg] OK THE LAST PIC IS MINE THE OTHER 2 ARE OF OTHER 93 I HAVE FOUND THEY ALSO LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE MORE TRAVLE THAN MINE THANKS FOR THE HELP.

When I had that suspension mine leaned forward too, that's good I believe. It will go straight when you sit on it that's your sag. It also means your springs are good.A buddy who had the same sled and suspension had his go straight up and down with no weight on it and it was crap. His springs were shot. I'd leave it the way it is, but you should realy upgrade to a 98 or newer tsl ett skid, you wouldn'y believe the improvment in ride you would get.
