Uneven ride height

[Davyhoogy]

Guys I thought I was being paranoid but turns out my rear offside is lower than nearside rear.
Think the fronts are the same..

Hi there @Davyhoogy I've had the same issue when I replaced the rear suspension on my Zed. You might find some answers in the thread I started
"Rear Springs and Shocks . Update."

Good luck.

Make sure the car is on a 100% flat surface or it will look a miss.
I have this and its generic if you google it its mentioned as the classic lean.
The car was built higher on nearside for u.s market to allow for the drivers weight you can remove it as i have with spring pads.
You may find its approx 10mm different i have a 5mm pad nearside and a 15mm offside and the car sits level.
Its not spring related as i swapped them and its the same.
I thought it to be rear subframe but reading up on it not sure its the case.

Yeah I've got new springs all round and I'm pretty sure the car was level up until recently. Me and @Axelf did the springs so would have noticed after that.
Car sits the same on various surfaces. Maybe a case of raising it at the weekend to look at everything...

Davy give me a shout if you want a hand to check it over. May be measure the spring on both sides to see what height they are in compressed state? Could the shocks be a bit worn on one side causing it to drop slightly?

Worth noting that when my car was corner weighted the guys measured from the chassis points to the ground(I think subframe mounts) and not arches or any bodywork for best accuracy.

When I done mine I also renewed the main axel bushes the pai in the harass ones

You doing the whitby run Tony @Axelf ? I could come to yours before we leave

The cars aren't perfectly square from the factory so I wouldn't worry too much
