Fender Alignments
Short answer: Two tricks make fender alignment work, both done with no load on the subframe and body:
- With the fenders off, the front end sags because the fenders are a major part of the front structure. Support the subframe and body so there’s no sag before bolting the fenders back on, and align the frame to the body with a 5/8″ rod through the front frame-to-body alignment hole.
- The fender fits best at the top when stretched a little beyond its at-rest shape. Get the top gap right, then add spacers at the bottom to spread it until the center crease lines up with the door.
