After hours and hours of fitting, I just finally installed a new DTS 12 bolt with ford (http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?p=593357#) ends and pressed on bearings on a 67 Firebird...its shortened to accomodate the 18x12 wheels with 335x30x18 tires and DSE mini-tubs and relocated shackels and 3" drop leaf springs. I aligned everything so that the DSE axle clamps lign up and drop onto the nipple on the leaf springs. I bolted everything up and dropped the car (http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?p=593357#) down and it appears that the passenger wheel looks slightly "pigeon toed" as it appears to point from rear-foward towards the driver side. The wheel on the driver side seems fine.

Any ideas? Am I missing something?? How can I correct this?? -chris

Are you sure your wheel is fully seated? Are you hitting anything such as brake brackets or calipers? how about the register on the axle hub?

You sure the rear end is straight, or that the housing ends are on the axle tubes correctly? Just because it's new doesn't mean it's right.
