Also, is the camber on the wheels excessive because you have wound up the torsion bars?

Did he defect the suspension after a possible disagreement about the tyres?? Maybe he just went looking for something....

Now it has to have a full inspection.

Is it possible to buy replacement bump stops to bring the clearences back into legal range? I have heard of low profile ones for the bottom, but what about extended ones for the tops?
Also where can you buy the low profile ones? I would prefer not to cut them.
Cheers

Not sure if there are limits to how much you can wind them but I had my Rodeo inspected yesterday and the inspector asked me if I had wound mine. However it turns out he was just curious as he had just wound his
