    I have just had the front and rear springs on my 71 "Lark reset 1-1/2" lower.
    (LOOKS FANTASTIC!!) Put all back together and find that the rear wheels wont turn. ( Brakes arent binding and handbrake isnt stuck on and car is in neutral )
    I jacked the car up and put stands under the frame rails then lowered the rear end so that it is hanging loose and then the hubs turn easily. Would changing the pinion angle by lowering as I have done cause this problem or could it be driveshaft related...Hoping someone on here can help
    Thanks

    Are you sure the tires aren't resting on the inner fender wells up inside? I don't think lowering it that much would change the pinion angle so much that it wouldn't move. Especially since you did the front and the rear. Your pinion angle shouldn't have changed much at all.
