Re: Radius rod is too long
Take a tape measure and measure the distance from the hole in the front to some point on the rear axle like the spring perch. Now do the same for the other side. They should be equal. Plus, both rear wheels should point straight ahead. You can check this by sighting the tires to the front wheel or use a tape measure or other tool like you would use to check the toe in on the front. Also measure the distance from the banjo to the backing plates. That should also be equal.
The radius rod has not changed length. There is something wrong in the back. Careful measurement should point out the problem.
On a Model T it is not uncommon for the rear end to be bent. When they were $5 each or free, they were used to pull stumps by tying a chain to the differential.
