Hi all, I'm pretty certain my 1989 classic is leaning slightly to the right. Seems to sag. I put new shocks and springs on a couple of years ago, just cheapy pro comp shocks and britpart standard height springs. Would it sag that fast? Any other ideas? Self levelling ball joint? I've polybushed everything, not done the A frame bushes yet though, could that be it? Help much appreciated!

Sorry, no, was just bein rude and suggestin that cars that lean towards the drivers side tend to do so coz the springs on that side tend to be a bit more "compressed" if you get my gist?!

Ah! I see! Should have expected the old fat bastard jokes!
You probably have a point! What do you reckon then? Police spec on the driver's side and standard on the left?! Or fatten up the missus?!

Seriously though!!! What do you all think?

Odenne probably hit it on the head. The drivers side tends to get more use (there's always a driver but not necessarily a passenger) and so will be the first side to sag. My 110 sagged at the passenger side but I noticed that if someone was sat behind the wheel it didn't. This was because the o/s springer is rated for the additional weight of a driver. Dont mix the springs just get a new pair and remember to put them on the right side as springs are rated left or right.

Cheers redhand. I never knew they were rated for o/s and n/s. Makes sense though!
