1970 IIA 88"
Had a local fab shop weld in two new front horns for me about 2 months ago. I looked at the welds when I picked up the truck and all looked good. Everything has been fine since. Yesterday I had the Mule backed in my garage and noticed the front bumper looked pretty slanted. Did some measuring and my right horn is 3/4" higher then the left horn (measuring from the ground to the leaf spring bolt.. Measured a couple different ways and end up with the same measurment. I paid them 55/hour and it took 10 hours to make the repair. I feel like 3/4" is a pretty big error. Trying to put my thoughts together before I go down and have them look at it. I've used them before and never had a problem, everything has been spot on.
With the left horn closer to the ground I've got more preload on the left leaf vs the right. Is that going to cause alignment issues?
I have plans to mount a winch and plate in the near future, wondering of crooked horns is going to make it impossible for the winch plate to lay flat.
Any other issues this error might cause?
Is 3/4" anything to worry about?
Thanks pb
