well looking at u fotos i would say the 1st pic is the osr it dont look to good or its the cam angle it seems to bow in to the chassis i measured mine b4 i put mine on but i was told later that the front set are slightly weaker than the back as it was to compensate when towing if its rite a i dont know seems plausible tho

only thing i can do is check for splits in the weld on the chassis and then fit new springs all round an disc cone's an if that don't work i'm fooked if i know what to look at next

they were new in the summer buster, i fitted the back first and then the front

all new monroe's

mmmm... Did ye put the top mount drop thingies on? Dunno if there's a difference between the shox for standard or lifted or not, but like ah mentioned on the sunday maybe the springs are mixed up

shock droppers are on but they are to compensate for not using longer shocks,

an the only way the springs could be mixed up is if they were like that when i got the landy

as i've always taken one side off at a time an replaced it completely before moving to the next corner.

think it sounds expensive though

you changed the bushes back on that day we call summer . just a thought to try jack the chassis leave the axle hanging and loosen the anti roll bar at the axle end and see it you can get it to move it might be under tension when it dont need to be if you can see what i mean i could very well b wrong (usualy am ) but its a thought you never know

i had thought about undoing all bush related bolts an retightening to see if that was the problem so yes thanks it sounds a good idea

only problem is finding somewhere flat to do it

Look at the pics and see where the rear Anti-Roll-Bar is fitted ... Passenger side is 'above' the axle and almost flat, drivers side is 'below' the axle and pointing down a lot ... I suspect you've put the link to the ARB on wrong, or lifted it up too much on the passenger side and it's flipped over and that's making it pull it al down on the drivers side.

It also looks like the Rear drivers side spring isn't sitting correctly at the top ... but I dunno if that's just a trick of the light ....

well spotted that man

and a big THANK YOU!

just been out to have a look an it is fitted wrong

must have done it when i fitted the poly bush arb bushes

but should the link be over or under the axle

will have a look at the rave manual

The power of pics ... :nopics:

nickh75 · Dec 31, 2008

WOO HOO!

just done it an i's all level again :banana:

:rolly:

thank fook fa that! coz it's freezin out there,

i'm sure i would'nt have fitted it like that, could it have happend off road?

or am i just a numpty?

Paul D · Dec 31, 2008

You're a numpty ...

I'd guess that when you fitted the polybushes the arb at the axle 'flipped', or you pulled it towards the rear and when it went back in you lifted it at the same time as you fitted the bushes at the back.

It's highly unlikely it'd happen off-roading unless you dropped the passenger side down a 3' vertical bank, hit a rock forcing it all out, then hit another rock forcing it back and up at the same time ... have you rolled it recently???

:rolly:

:jaw:

if yu use it orf road - why do yu still have an ARB? most peeps remove them?
