EK3 not sitting right, help please...


Fronts look even and spot on...

Question also, do the EK3's not have rear ARB's?...
 
That explains why it Dora not and there are spare holes in the LCA's...
 
The garage is to say something about the two lower arms are the same as LH or RH and from them, and the other way up, although he did not know what is true, the thread will check and see, we hope to have it sorted .. .
 
Mine seems to be settling now and looking more even, if I measure from the centre of the wheel to the top of the arch the passenger side is about 1cm higher at the front and the back, I suppose this is normal in a car this age as most of the weight would have always been more on the drivers side...
 
could be just a real bad case of dampers sagging or just one of the shocks trashed in general, worth having a look at, would be silly to miss it, also the inverted control arms are cause for concern.:troll:
 
have you checked the part numbers on the dampers? Probably one was a wrong delivery or something? Had a similar issue a while ago with another car. fitted perfectly but hight was different, then figured out they shipped one damper for a different car...
 
Dampers have been changed for second hand (half the mileage of originals) ones but the garage said they all looked good, the springs are brand new and the LCA's i've checked and are fine. Also it was doing the same thing before the springs and shocks were changed, although like I said, does appear to be sorting itself a bit over time now new set up has been on a while...
 
Dampers were also a full set second hand from an import VTi so can't be wrong...
 
Has settled a little now, however still not right, measured each wheel centre to arch and passenger side sitting 1cm higher at front and back. Handles and drives fine, think i'm going to run over winter and then pick up another as this has a few too man dings for me to fix haha...
 
BTW, on a side note of ARB, can I just get some VTi brackets, bushes and an rear ARB and retro fit to the EK3?...
