Title: Driverside leaning
Post by: simon15 on February 25, 2007, 08:58:52

Just noticed looking at my new Rangi that the driveras side is sitting about 1" lower than the passenger???

Any ideas why or how to fix?

it currently has a 50mm lift on comfort springs inc gas shocks and polybushed??

Anyway, ity's not uncommon for older Rangies to lean, single bloke with a bit too much money and carrying too much weight tended to own them when they were new.

If the springs are weak on the driver's side it will lean but also the front radius arms settle into a permentant lean so that new springs will not cure it.

I don't think the dampers will do much to help, though I thought that once about my old Escort, changed the springs and it was still too low, changed the dampers and it went up over an inch :?   Go figure.

well the springs are relatively new and raised 50mm along with gas shocks. and the radius arms have been polybushed.

so its all been worked on fairly recently.
