Default Ride height-rear spring spacer

While changing my rear shocks recently it seemed like a good time to fix my rear ride height issue. In this case the problem wasn't front-vs-rear but, rather, left-vs-right. The left side was just slightly lower than the right. Not by much, maybe 10mm or so. But it's one of those things that once seen cannot be unseen . It was a bit of an itch.

While the springs were off the car I stood them up alongside each other; one of the left springs was about 3-4 mm shorter than the other. I guess it has gone a bit saggy over the years?

Anyhow, on reassembly of the springs and shocks I installed a single spacer under the one short spring, hoping for the best but not fully anticipating a fix. Each spacer is 3mm, by the way.

It worked. No more tilt to the left.



Cheers
DD
