Now that thing was making some torque! Was that a hemi car? That bent the spring perch?

Well Cranky wins the prize this time! Pulled both rear tires, they are both M/T street tires, 12.50 wide by 29 tall. Weathered, and not the same circumference! Pretty well down to the wear indicators. Measured the circumference by wrapping a tape around them, and one was 2 " larger around! Boy was I surprised. So I swapped them side to side, and now it pulls pretty much straight or slightly to the left on acceleration. Couldn't find anything else wrong. Perches are good, springs , shocks etc. all in good shape. So first prize this week is an all expenses paid trip to the Mc Donalds of your choice. Lol. Sorry, but I have to save up now for some new tires! Thanks everyone for your help/suggestions. This Forum is the best!

Does the car have a good Sure Grip in it or did it not have one and does now and you're using the same rear tires? If so, measure the roll out on the rear tires. If one tire is a bit taller than the other, it'll do this. It's a quick and simple measurement too. Ask me how I know this lol It's a good idea to measure the roll out on rear tires when you're using a Sure Grip anyways because uneven tire height will also make it wear out faster....
