Anyone come across this before? I noticed signs of mechanical contact between the adjuster ring, base of spring, and anti roll bar on the rear suspension of my Sag. I think the solution would be an offset bush in the shock or a massive amount of adjustment on the bottom links, to almost Triumph Herald proportions! Dont fancy either really so suggestions please. Easy answer is to keep the wife out the passenger seat.

I found this whilst replacing the exhaust clamps, with some mad clamps that I bought, and the box mounts. I was Fed up with the sagging rear exhausts. I then found the pipe connections to the box were loose as well, so off comes the rear tray. Hence car in air, wheels off for a look and oops there it is.

Not sure what you mean; but will rub on the upright on one side only if adjusted wrong, should be equal clearance either side (14mm un-sprung)
