Hi, I had my Mu's back bushings replaced and the tension bar tightened as it was alittle loose so i'm told. Was down a good 2 - 3 inches, looked like a flatty from the other side. Figured a bushing had gone as it happened suddenly when i was going up a hill. But anyway, after the guy put new hard rubber bushings in both rear spring arms.. its still alittle down compared to the other side, i'd say still 1 or 2 cm's down. It has recent new aftermarket shocks atl east 12 months old. Any ideas?

If its the rear then most likely its saggy springs which is best fixed with after market replacements. A couple of things to check though if they have played with the front torsion bars. remove one of the linkages on the sway bar then park on a flat area and measure the hight of both front corners and adjust as necessary. The torsions can be adjusted without disconnecting the sway bar but its very easy to get it wrong as the sway bar tries to level the car even if both sides are very different check the tyre pressures You will be surprised how many cars have gone in for major suspension work when tyre pressures have been the real fault. Even expert mechanics have fallen for this one. It is possible one of the shocks has gone faulty but its very unlikely. Once youve done these checks post your tyre size and hight to the wheel arch from flat ground so we can advise more

My Mates MU had a similar problem after replacing his suspension a month back.. turned out to be the torsion bars weren't evenly adjusted, causing the rear left to sag.. Couldnt tell from the front however.
