Anders Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 I have a series IV, where the rear right side suspension is much softer than the left and sits about half an inch lower. Spring and shock absorbers are quite new and have been switched, but problem persists. Some have pointed to a chassis problem, however I can't see anything (haven't stripped it yet) Any experiences with this Regards, Anders - the danish Viking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Are you actually measuring the chassis from the ground, or is it simply that the fibreglass body could have shifted/come loose, giving the illusion of suspension droop....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted July 24, 2002 Author Share Posted July 24, 2002 It's visibly lower from ground up but also softer in the suspension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevefoster Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 sounds like the spring is fatiging or the bushes have compressed on that side. when was the last spring bush refresh? does it drive ok = no knocking noises etc..

philwaters Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Just a thought - are they adjustable dampers in tems of bump/rebound (e.g. Spax). Are they both set to the same setting? One might be harder than the other... As I said, just an idea... Phil Waters Zetec is in and running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Could be your suspension bushes sticking on the bolts on one side. Check that they are all free and well lubricated and not rusted onto the bolts causing them to have limited movement. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted July 24, 2002 Author Share Posted July 24, 2002 This problem is bugging me as: 1. Bushes are brand new and centered. I don't get any noice 2. Springs and absorbers are also new. They are adjustable, however problem persists in right side even though I've switched springs & absorbers 3. It drives OK, however is much softer in left turns The more I think of it, it has to be the frame (shi.)! However any ideas to how to identify (beyond stripping the body)? Regards, Anders PS: How do I remove the 'novice' sticker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
