Rear Suspension..

[wezjones99]

hi guys about 5 days ago i noticed the backright hand side of my vtr had dropped lower than the left hand side well over the past 2 days both sides have dropped and are sitting on the stoppers and the car is on its arse literally. Anyone know what could be causing this a mate said the torsion bars could be damaged or something or will it require a new axel ? thanks

[dazvtr]

has it been lowered in the past?

[wezjones99]

yeah it was lowered when i had the car think it was 60mm but now it too low.

[dazvtr]

well apparantly there is two ways to lower the torsion bar n if its done wrong iv seen people on here sayin it will sag on one side it sounds like you have been v unlucky and yours has gone wrong mate. would of thought your best bet is source a second hand rear axle!:n:

[wezjones99]

yeah i thought as much thanks for quick response
how much would a 2nd hand axel set me back about ?

just get your torsion bar adjusted correctly, no need to buy a new rear axle!

[dazvtr]

how would it of come out of adjustment though. something must be broken!

well then fix it, no ned to buy a whole new rear axle tbh :p

[dazvtr]

yeah good point but i would of thought the only way it can drop is if the splines are fooked in which case prob easier to replace it:y:

[S34MER]

yeah your probs right, but im just saying, i think the guy should get the roblem assessed before he goes splahing the cash on a whole new rear axle! :p

[dazvtr]

yeah true enough mate:y:
