| Post subject: | Suspension issue? |
Morning Gents, Was wondering if anyone can tell from the photos if there is anything wrong with my suspension? Its sitting lower on this side compared to the other but the hilos are at the same level. It was set up at same level and sitting fine then one day just noticed its sitting lower on this side. If i jack the car up then put it down it sits the same height but then when i move it, it drops lower again. Any ideas? Thanks |

What condition are the cones and knuckle joints in? Do you have any cracks in the top of the subframe, they would be visible from the engine bay. |

May be something simple like the clip that holds the cone in has come loose and fallen out and the cone has gone skew wiff. |

Havent checked the subframes. Will have a look later today. Will also see if i can check the cones are sitting ok into the donuts. Cones and knuckle joints are pretty much brand new and seem to be fine but i could just be blind |

Time to throw the rubber doughnuts away and buy some Japanese MST Springs. You won't know yourself with the ride change. |

Is that lower bolt on the adjustable cone there a lock bolt? If it is it doesn't look very tight to keep everything where it should be. Have you measured each side to make sure they are wound out evenly? |

the golden one is the one that locks the height. The silver one is the threaded bolt to adjust the height. Both sides are set at same distance apart |
