Is there anyway to correct this, ive tried undoing and retightened the shackles but too no avail. Its on a swb v8 series 2a. At the worst scenario i suppose i could make slightly longer shackles for the drivers side . Help me out please chaps

All new polybushes on it. Does it mean that there is a possibility that they are on the wrong side!

If your vehicle has had new spring hangers welded on and they havent been welded in the exact right place that will affect the stance of your series

I'm still finding my feet with them, but ones I've just got (GB springs) are handed...

...So you can fit them to the wrong side, might as well try it - seems like you have nothing to loose....

They are rated higher on one side to make up for driver weight. Usually a side lean means they are on the wrong side. I beleive they may be stamped somewhere.

Also the fact that fuel tank and transmission is all over to the driver's side, so if you haven't got handed springs it will invariably lean - I too would recommend GB springs - same price as Britpart but handed and marked up (I had the same problem with several pairs returned to Paddocks before they gave me my money back) put on a set o GB springs and it lent ever so slightly to the passenger side (about 5mm) to start with, but with settled down within a couple of weeks and are now perfect!!!

i'm glad you said your GB's settled, i literally just fitted mine and she leans so slightly to the passenger side, well pleased with the quality parts though, and they were very good on the phone too.

You chaps running the GB springs, are any of you running a v8 with a lt 95 box. I just want to make sure that the weight of them , makes no difference to the spring loading. I changed springs from side to side today , no difference. All chassis measures up spot on, so theres no trouble there. I guess its Gb springs then, anybody got a link/ price for them
