Title: Has it got a lift
Post by: Snooky on April 22, 2007, 13:15:17

How can I tell if my 90 has a lift, it seems to be nice and high but just not too sure, and next to my mates disco with a 2" lift it looks the same hight, although it has standard shocks fitted, so is there an easy measurement I can take?

Yes, the eyebrow height on the wheelarch.  If you don't have standard wheels then you need to measure the centre of the wheel rather than the floor.

Another quick check is the Panhard rod, it's meant to lie almost perfectly horizontally, so the steering box end should lie across the redundant bracket (LH drive bracket) at that end of the axle.  If it's higher then the car may be lifted.

Bear in mind that LRs sink as they get older, so your may be standard and your mate's tired.

Don't know what happened there :shock:

I don't know the measurement, all I can tell you is it's 790mm+/- 7mm for a RRC.
