The car showed the same wheel weights and left the same either way but it is only a mid 1.40 60' car.

Yeah I guess the end result would be the same...I never ever thought of that,, but since the way I outlined it was the way I was told.. I just did it.. Not knowing any different...But it wasn't hard to pull the bar down, maybe because of the length of bar the leverage helped.
