THis is probably here somewhere but I know somebody has already dealt with this.

My 300 is leaning left. Its like someone sitting on leading edge of front fender.

you can see some evidence of it in this photo too -- even if wheels were straight.

nose is 1 inch down on that side vs pass. side measured at bottom of bumper (bumper is otherwise straignt), at rear the distance between middle of skirt and ground is 0.5 lower than pass. side.

everything looks/feels tight. not obvious anything going on at normal street/higway speeds.

so, the lean is obviously front suspension related?

thanks for any advice.

T-bar adjustment?

paint code GG1. Anybody have a 67 that color?

looks like it had different names for Imps/Chrysler brands.

probaly the vert color next to detmatt's fine '67 CC in for sale forum

I agree that it’s closer to the vert but it also has some added metallic in it.

Haven't seen this guy around for a while, but check out his ride in this thread. GG-1 introduction

thanks polara_500. thats a cool color ... and really nice Fury for GG-1.

I am gonna do the color scan for my car from the door jambs and it'll come out whatever that is.

Your paint guy should be able to mix it for you no problem. He has the code I'm sure.
My '67 Imperial right now is Forest Green Metallic GG1, but the car was originally FF1 Haze Green Metallic. My paint shop already made up a sample for me. It's going back to the original Haze Green as soon as he can get it in the shop.

Not necessarily. . . If there is a weak rear spring on one side of the car, it will tend to raise the opposite side front corner making the opposite front corner appear to be low.

would adjusting LH torsion bar compensate without adverse ride/handling effects?

easier than starting with a leaf- job -- if i had to i would but wanna avoid that at first.

thx Rip.

I would think that if the problem really is one of your leaf springs, adjusting a torsion bar would tend to mess up the front end geometry.

if you have a drive on lift available, put the car up on it and take measurements from points on the car to the lift ramps. ends the guessing as to what and how low a corner or side is.

The gold is a no-go. 1st choice is Prime, 2nd is Pentastar.

 

[FURYGT]

Pentastar.

I agree, in fact if you could remove the prime logo even better. I do like the wheels though.

My 300 has the red lines in the grill as well. The Chrysler emblem on the rear fender is broken into thirds, they are supposed to be white on the top, red on the left, blue on the right, and black in the center. This is really nice ride! I have exactly this car in the rag top with all the same options. Maybe suggest you try with black walls, that lettering kind of yanks your eyes away from the car, which is the star! Like it!
