Suspension lower on one side!


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

My 1974 TR6 was converted from left hand drive to right hand drive about 12 years ago, it sits lower on the right hand side, is this a common problem with TR6s, is it a case of changing the springs, or is it more involved, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

Proper spring load is essential for good setup.

First it must be found out where the culprit is.

It would be very unwise to lift let us say the right front because

the front is already lower and the car is down on the right.

 

I found this mistake often on race cars that benefit a lot from perfect

wheel load on all wheels.

 

Instead the car must be lifted precisely in the middle under one axle with a tube

to balance and than the difference left/right must be measured and corrected

at the axle that is standing on the ground.

 

After that the other axle is done in that way and than it will work.

 

Just from the anti roll bars influence a one side hanging car is a pain!

You don't say if it is the front, the rear, or both front & rear that are leaning.

 

One simple check is to examine the trailing arm brackets-

bracket(s) may have been mounted upside-down on one side.

The car is lower front and back on the right hand side, it's more noticeable at the rear!!
