what do you mean by "all wrong".

simple adjustments of the ride height are very easy to do, you just need two spanners, a short rule and the ability to jack the car up and remove a wheel

whats the short rule for? well the best way to get the height the same on both sides is to measure the area of exposed thread well its a good starting point

it wasnt quite like that it was like a long box spanner with a threaded bar running through it, there was a handle shaped bar on that and a handle right at the top?
