[QUOTE="blacksheep-1, post: 13173989, member: 33936"] IF the isos are the same all the way around, the springs in their perches then place the car on a flat surface and start measuring with a tape from the ground (preferably a chassis plate) and the bottom of the car. Like pinch welds, areas on the subframe that are the same from side to side. don't be too surprised it the car is off a 1/4 inch or so. the mustangs were a little flimsy and a lot of them are bent. You can see if a frame shop will straighten it then weld in some subframe connectors. I recently had a FOX body that I had to build 1/4 spacers to go under the left side of the car between the frame and k-member to straighten it out. (it was an old drag car).. Don't panic, they're all bent to some extent. BTW one thing that will COMPLETELY screw up the chassis ride height is a panhard bar on the stock triangulated 4 link. you will be able to jack up one side of the car by adjusting on the Panhard bar...total cluster. The other thing is to make sure the rearend is dead nuts center in the car, Ford uses the mickey mouse upper control arms to center the rearend. So if those bushings are not as compliant as they should be then that will move the rear from one side to the other as well, aftermarket UCAs only make that problem worse, especially if they are not adjusted properly.
