springs was created by r_ogilvy
i have been playing under my making sure everythings ok, i have a bit of a lean an many people say about the lean.
am i being stupid? because the front 2 springs are different lengths? its a 2" + spring lift
but theres about an inch difference, has this been done to sort the lean? or is it a wrong spring? :blink:

a week or 2 ago i done a post about steering wandering, would this make it wander? as i do have castor correction bushes.

There is a 32kg difference between the LHS and RHS of the car. Therefore you will typically see a difference in the spring length when measured on the car, the real check is when the springs are removed and laid side by side, then you can see if one of your springs is "tired"

There has been talk in the past of some kits including "correction" for this weight difference, perhaps Jimnybits does this. I am sure Rus (BlueJimny) will be along shortly to reply.
