rear springs

Post by burner »

I've had three sets of rear springs on my NJ in the last few months (long story). All of them seem to leave the RHS higher than the LHS by 10mm. springs are around 30-40mm lift. any thoughts ?

I would say your left hand torsion bar needs to be adjusted slightly to even out everything.

Many spring manufacturers compensate for the likelyhood of the driver using the car on their lonesome buy adding an extra 10mm or so to the right hand spring. This means that as the car sags over time with single occupant use, the righthand side has a larger built in sag allowance. :D :armsup:

Yeah I woulda said both those things too, plus the springs will take a little while to settle, so it might take 6 months for the slightly heavier RHS to even up.

I also noticed a slight diff in the height of the rears when i adjusted the torsion bars. well worth a play with them.

Have noticed this with other cars I have had over the years, so it may be as noted above - to compensate for lonely drivers.
