Rear suspension question
I noticed today that the gap between rear o/s tyre and wheel arch is less than the rear n/s one, does this indicate a possible problem?

Are both wheel arch liners tight against the shell?

Hi Alex,
yes they both seem well fitted to arches, do you know if there is a specified ride height? |

How old is the car?
I ask because your springs may be old and tired, as may the dampers. There shouldn't be any difference between sides. Where are you measuring from and too? top of tyre to wheel arch top? Mike
