Dolomite 1850 HL front suspension
Dolomite 1850 HL front suspension
My front NS is 2cm lower than the OS I have replaced with new shocks and springs both side any suggestions why this maybe. I'm awaiting a hoist to measure but a clue as to what to look for would be great

Re: Dolomite 1850 HL front suspension
Depends how you've measured it!
If you've measured from the floor to the underside of the arch, i've seen pattern wings with that much error in them!
But, in any case 20mm is not a big error for one of these cars.
Is there a difference at the back as well? Are the tyre pressures equal? Also a camber variation could maybe, just possibly be responsible. Even a stiffness in one of the balljoints could make a difference.
Too many choices and it's late!
