So...

I've got adjusta rides, and when the rear trumpets are set to the same lenght, the left side (looking from the rear) sits about 15mm lower than the right side.

Could this have anything to do with the extra weight of the fuel tank and the amount of petrol? Should I just set adjust the trumpets to different lenghts so the wheels are level?

Wierd one init :lol:

The cones seem ok, I suppose new ones couldn't hurt :/

And yeah, after lots of fapping around, the trumpets and ball-joints in properly :lol:

My real question is, can the weight of the fuel and the tank make a difference? Gaz dampers set on 16 clicks from the bottom!

Well it shouldn't make that much of a difference since you've got a battery on the other side.

Yes, that's the beauty of adjustable suspension.

Also depending on your weight a little lower on the nearside may not be a bad thing as when you get in it will even out.
