TIB3300 389 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Hello peeps I remember this from years ago, my car leans to the drivers side when looked at front the rear. I did swap the springs round to see if that helped ,nope! Still does it .So I have a few plans Fit one estate rear spring on the drivers side Fit gas assisted shocks Fit one of those rubber spring assisters Anyone solved this on there own car ?

do it sideways 41 Posted May 20, 2016 This is going to sound crazy, but on a car that came in years ago someone had fitted new balljoints to one side and tightened up the top and bottom bush bolts with the suspension hanging down, not saying that this is your problem but one of the list of things that," could "make it lean or sit higher on one side,, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not trying to be funny, but are we talking front end or rear end, red bit. :headscratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIB3300 389 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Its from the rear I notice it :thumbup: I hear what your saying Steve about the suspension bushes being tightened up while the car had no weight on the wheels. But the car seams to have done this before I rebuilt all the rear end, and yes this was one of the things I advised Pete on with his car after the rebuild.

nmonkey220 23 Posted May 20, 2016 There has most likely been some balast sat on the drivers side a fair while what orientation are the front subrame bushes in as one of them is off center Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
