Can I...............?

Adjust the ride height on one corner and leave the other side as it is? I have adjustable platform AVO shocks on the rear and the nearside tyre catches on the arch (always has but is worse now of course with 245's).

I worry that it will preload the spring and result in uneven suspension settings on the rear axle. Do i need to have both sides set up the same? The dampers are set the same as far as damping/rebound is concerned it is only the ride height/platform height i am talking about.

If you adjust one side you'll have more weight on that wheel than the other & cause an imbalance. Adjust them both the same I would & live with the visible difference. You could even get it corner weighted at the back to the desired height.

The favourite thing TVR did for this was to pack the body out to even the way it looked. This is done by putting more or less packing above the rear spring where the body attaches!

i have adjustable AVO's too and have had one refubed this week.

I noticed a difference in the two upon fitting...

One has a spacer (factory welded onto shaft) below the first (underside) concave washer and rubber.

Noticed this after first refit of other one.

Rode fine.
When i noticed it, i removed and fitted a stainless nut to mimick said spacer on the other side.

A lot less thread to grab onto as a result. On and rides well.

Better measure on a flat road surface. Should i just measure to underside of wheel arch ??


Thoughts ??
