Can any1 help please?

 

My passenger side rear suspension is approx 20mm higher. I believe this has only recently occured! Has it got something to do with my handbrake? Its a UK spec model and I recall some1 mention you can adjust the stiffness on UK cars using the H/brake??

 

HELP!

Handbrake adjusts ride stiffness, not ride height.

 

Id wager its a snapped spring.

has it been up on axle stands for any time recently?

Hi Vijay,

 

I suppose it has really. Its been in and out of body shops and def been on stands. So yes.

 

The shock arm is visible more so than the drivers side, dont know if that means anything.

 

I've ordered springs off Mike (MJP) as Im going to lower it. but if the shocks is the prob i'll need to order a new set of them too??

could even be a worn or colapsed shock bush on one side

More than likely a broken spring mate,

well mine has been up on stands for ages, got the wheel back on a few weeks ago and one side was much higher, seems to have settle down a bit but was told it'll settle properly after the car is driven :)

could be just a bust shock absorber??

doubt its shock absorber as they dont affect ride height. unless they have belt or something,

could be sagged spring, wrongly tightened top mount worn, top mount, warn shock bush.

 

or your fat ex girlfriend hiding under the car somewhere.
