no it doesn't look too big...

When you say slants back...do you mean the whole rear seems lower than the front? Most Pathy's (If Stock) have a slightly higher rear end compared to the front. If your rear end...(The Pathy's that is...Nothing personal) is lower than the front, then you probably have worn out shocks and coils springs. The bushings on the rear trailing arms won't make the rear end sag...they only make the Pathy's rear end do the "WOBBLE" (For lack of better term)

nevermind...figured out my own problem today got a better look at it and the upper trailing arms are attached to a crossmember well...the cross member rotted off one of the brackets that the swaybar endlink bolts to is no longer attached alos time for some huge surgery plans a friend of mine suggested cutting another partial frame from another pathy and putting it on mine one problem is i live in an area where they use tons of salt every year so i'm thinking now what!!!! looking for some good suggestions...anybody
