Well i found that one side was lower than the other by about 20mm so i changed all the springs and shocks on front and back thinking this would fix the problem but NO :cry:

Any other things u can think it could be?

Thanks

Are your wheels all exactly the same. (You've not got a flat have you?)

Something to do with an anti roll bar... mounts damaged or bent bar.(Somehow)

Have you had a knock recently?

Sub frame mounts go easily, they could mess up the geometry if in bad enough condition. Does your can kangeroo much?

There is a lot of rubber on the underside it could be.

You've got a top mount for each shock that can and will go, could be that I reckon. Also 4 rear swing arm rubbers, but they arn't usually gone. Check your rubber mate.


Have you checked what's in the boot?

Sounds like the beam bush broken on the side that's too low. They drop by that much.

Hi to everyone from Christchurch in New Zealand, well i have the same problem since i lowered the front a fortnight ago,i bought aftermart Dobi springs that dropped the front 35mm, however i did not lower the rear as i like the rake look.I took it for a wheel alignment and the blokes measured from the lip of the guard to the ground and found the left side higher by 15 mm on the rear left side. They suggested that i take it home and swap the left rear over to the right and vice versa and this has done the trick.Good luck from down under and The Rolling Stones are the greatest rock n roll band in the world, Keith is tops.
