Evening all,

I have noticed that the gap between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch is about 30mm different from one side to the other on the rear of the car.

I have had a good look around the suspect side (the lower of the 2) and the spring seems to be in good condition as does all surrounding frame work.

Do the springs just loose tension with time or should I be looking for something else?

Thank you

Rod.

Do you have after market shoks, could be incorrect adjustment.

Jack the car and lift the weight of the spring then rotate the spring on the lowwer side, just look at the ends of the spring, could be broken.

Try measuring from the chassis to the floor and see how that compares, if it is out are you sure you don't have adjustable suspension? Ours certainly has and you just need to spin the lower platform to raise it smile

What is the front like? There must be a compensating difference somewhere else or you def have an issue!

Measure from the chassis body is not the same both sides you cannot go by wheel arch gap. Tuscan should have adjustable Spring seats or better still get it corner weighted
