yes the car is sitting on the ground. if i measure the rear tire clearence from wheel well inside to the outside face of the "mickeys" ...passengers side has about 1.25" and the drivers side has bearly 1/2"to face of tire. the person removed the panhard bar to replace the spherical ends (and i assume he didn't mark the thread engagment properly) causing everything to go off kilter?? there are many adjustment holes in the brackets just not sure which set of holes to start with(no more racing, just street crusing. getting too old!!)
