Sprint front ride height.....
Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2005 3:21 pm
Gents,
Been looking at the front suspension. The car has about 1/2" mode tyre to arch clearance on the passenger side (UK) than on the drivers side. and this is a little difficult to expalin but here goes:-
On inspection of the lower wish bones the drivers side appears to be more parallel to the ground whereas the passenger side wish bone seems to be pointing down as if there is not enough weight on the shocker/spring assembly to force the wishbones into the near parallel position as per the drivers side .
All the shocks/springs (standard units), uprights and trunnions along with all bushes are new. The frame and body are square and undamaged having been measured and checked.
Any ideas as to what may cause this?
If the trunnions have not been screwed into the uprights far enough or too far could this cause the problem?
I thinking that only the spring load/rate determines the wishbone positions.
All help much appreciated.
cheers
Mark
