one side lower
Seems I have the front o/s lower tthan the nearside. Don't know why so will have to investigate. I have a spare car on the drive so might change all the legs over. Anyone else had this?
|
Yep, pretty common, how much lower are we talking.
|
Not far off 3/4 to an inch
|
That's quite a bit, a few mm is not unusual but that's about 20mm, a cracked spring is a possibility.
|
Thought you had set it up for Brands, like that!!!!
|
Can@t see any obvious signs but will cange all the legs next weekend. I don't think the Zs will handle like a formula ford Pete, must remember that when we are there. Are you coming down that day?
|
Yep, see you there.
:wave::wave::wave: |
I have the opposite problem, N/S rear is about an inch higher than all the others?????

Well all swopped over and guess what, car is still lower one side at the front.
|
Did you compare the free length of the springs ?, is it still the same height difference.
|
the car it all came off of is sitting on the drive we use it as spares. It sits perfect all round so the mystery deepens.
|
Odd indeed, I'm not sure what else would affect the height, things like collapsed and worn bushes you'd notice because they'd clonk when you drive
|
Did you get this sorted Steve? Came out from work tonight to see the rear sitting low on one side. Not had time to investigate yet but dont need this two weeks before a track day!
|
Changed everything over but still the same, car still handles very well so just going bto leave it. Got the exhaust blowing now but will do that on the weekend. Will def be at brands on the 3rd.
|
Did you swap nsf to osf or put back as nsf??
Just wondering if the cars settle down with the additional weight of the driver on the o/s?? ;);) |
Changed evrything over from the other car that was sitting level. Once brands is out of the way I will be selling the car so not too bothered now. Be intersesting to see how it sits in the garage at brands as the floors are level.
|
long as you dont go into the double one that has a step down!!!
|
Imagine you'll have to get there pretty early to get a garage, or its it booked?
|
Its normally the shocker that has gone week not the spring had the same problem on a ford at work
|
Sorted my problem. Lifted the car on a jack at the middle rear while i stripped the rear brake sliders and it seems to have sorted it. I do have coilovers.
|
Just going to leave mine as Brands will be it's final outing, then decide what to do with it. Buying a c max today so the zed will prob sit on the drive till the summer or depending on the right money it will be sold. Brands will be a good track day.
|
Oh yes. Looking forward to it. Hopefully getting some slicks off Goldie if he is back in time (and it doesnt rain!)
