Hey this guy taught me a little trick. Tape a string to your fender and let it hang down, maybe tie a bolt or something heavy at the end of the string to keep it from moving. And measure from string to wheel bead

At this point, I think it would work better by just using a sledgehammer on the driver's side wheel.

Alex are you close to the Irving area? If so I would be happy to help adjust as needed.

If your bar in completely compressed you are seeing the correct results, you need to "unscrew the bar to push the passenger side away from the axle center. By "screwing" the bar tighter you are actually pulling the passenger fender closer to axle center.

I'm in Irving but, I do not have access to a lift or jack stands. It's not a big deal but, I don't mind showing you the car.
