well reset the torsion arms today, got them all back on and now my axles are running at 25 degrees. so back to the drawing board. taking it all back apart in the morning and starting from scratch.
re-indexing them at 28 degrees after off the stop and relaxed. instead of 36 degrees as i set them today.
hopefully it will put me at the 16 degrees that i want to be after i set it back down.

Visited the VW factory in Chattanooga for a Job interview. An awesome plant not sure I really care for the new VW cars but the factory was cool.
