It’s difficult to see, but the last picture, the radius arm doesn’t look very straight?

Hi Robin,

Thanks for replying. I wonder if it’s an issue with my phone camera. To the eye, I think it looks ok.
Here are photos of both radius arms from the front of the vehicle.

Perhaps you could measure the wheelbase on both sides & compare...

Hi thanks for taking the time to reply. Those last two photos were taken from the front of vehicle and it’s a right hand drive. So you mean the radius arm for the passenger side looks bent? I didn’t peg that when I looked before. I’ll have to have another look tomorrow morning.

I measured the wheel bases tonight. They are only out by about 2mm.
-2258mm on the left side (passenger side)
-2260mm on the right side (driver side)
