cheers chaps - my shifts are all to ******* this week but will get the car jacked up at the weekend

[happydude2012]

just to close this one out, i did adjust the nut on the rear shocks and it evened it out - was a 20mm difference

I am confused. You can't adjust the ride height with any sort of damper adjustment.
The height is set by the rubber spring cone, the trumpet and the knuckle joint. These are fixed unless a Hi-Lo is fitted which gives ride height adjustment.

what do you mean you adjusted the nut on the rear shock and it came good sounds ridiculous

explain plea.

Aside from what was adjusted how would it be possible for only one corner to be high or low?

 

Unless the wheels aren't all on the same plane. There can only be 2 wheels at most in line with the body roll axis, so the suspension clearance above at least one other wheel must change.

 

A damper must be damaged to permanently alter the ride height. At best you've freed it, but it very likely still is damaged,

[nicklouse]

or it could have that much damping added that it has over come the spring effectively locking it out. but that could also point to uneven corner weights..

I put a spanner on the adjustable HI/LO cone nut.......turned it.....and as if by magic, the ride height changed....i know, weird.

The Hi-Lo isn’t a shock, that’s why everyone was confused

Oh that's easy.

 

The shell needs to be twisted or loads of the spot welds broken.

so nothing to do with the Dampers/shocks then.
