I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this problem. The discovery sits slightly lower on the passengers side than it does on the drivers side. It is not a lot but it just annoys me as it looks as if the car is slanted to one side when driving. I have replaced all the shocks. The original shocks were completely knackered and I am wondering if this has caused damage to the springs too.
Any thoughts welcome.
 
Has it been in a bump before you got it? could be damaged body mountings. Ive see this before when the mounting the body is attached to have been bent up that side seem to sit higher than the other.... Worth a check

Nope. Everything but an accident.
 
As suggested I would measure from body to ground and chassis to ground both sides and see if any difference. Can also visually check the outriggers are straight and everything is sat where it should be. Also check you haven't got a broken spring!

i will do. The spring is intact as I checked that recently. i am going to get a spirit level on the beast too.
 
This is the passengers front side that sits lower but I will check the rears too. Was it your front section that was lower?

With mine the back being off also effected the front, it was. As you say, pretty annoying

I found a 23mm imbalance on the height settings via hawkeye

Cheers
