Hi folks.

My car sits lower on one side than the other at the rear,I'm assuming whoever fit a refurbed beam to it before I bought it didn't set it up right.

Now I don't know a lot about the rear beams they seem like some form of dark art to me, I'm just wondering if whilst I'm replacing the shocks it would be a good time to sort out the ride height?

For all I know they could be completely different processes but with work being full on I need to make the most of working on the car whilst I can.

Cheers

quite possible that whoever supplied the refurbed the beam had no idea how to set it up properly!

seen this far too many times!

if RECENT history of refurb, it should be simple enough to set up properly, before you fit new shocks
