Ride height difference at rear wheels
Hi guys,
I was giving my rear brakes and handbrake a quick maintenance clean-up over the weekend when I noticed that the ride heights at the rear wheels of my car are different. On the drivers side it measures 34cm from the centre of the wheel to the wheel arch whereas the passenger side is 35.5cm, a difference of 1.5cm. Both tyres have approximately the same tread depth, so does this indicate a possible problem with the shocks or bushes? Is this difference something I should be concerned about with regard to road safety and handling?
Incidently, what should the normal height be for a 525?
I'd appreciate your views.
Cheers in advance,
Mas
Apart from the brakes and tyres ...
I haven't really touched anything else at the rear. I did replace the shocks at the front last year just after reaching 100' miles, so I just thought maybe the rear shocks could be on the way out now. Is a sagging spring common? How can you tell (measure) if it's sagging anyway?
Cheers,
Mas

I'm hoping it's a sagging spring. Have you replaced yours?
