This is gonna sound nuts:If I pull my car into the garage from the left and pull up straight,it will sit down on the pass. side,if I pull in from the right and straighten it up it will sit down on the driver side.If I am in an open parking lot and roll forward about 15-20(past what would be like pulling into the shop) it will flatten out :? Car goes straight,so I just let it do what it likes.

The way I used to set my baseline adjustment was as follows:

With no weight in the car and it sitting on the ground, adjust the front drive side till the bolt will slide out with ease. Then load the driver seat with weight equal to my body weight and adjust the passenger side front the same way. Then at the track make a slight adjustment of preload on driver side either more or less depending on how it would drift during the burnout. If it drifts left take preload out of the left side. If it drifts right add preload to the left side. Usually only takes about 1/2 turn. Aside from minor adjustment to coil springs if you have them, forget about it.

Does that thing have a spool? Sounds like the tires dragging on one side or the other creating preload on the suspension. :?
