corner balance questions
I have my car pretty well balanced but my ride height in the rear is not within specs as referenced in the bentley manual. They say the max difference between left and right ride height as measured by measuring the difference between the torsion bar cover and the centerline of the hub(trim height) should be no more than 8mm. My front left front weight is 572 lb/ trim height 109mm, right front weight is 586lb/trim height 107mm, left rear wight 826 lb/trim height 7mm, right rear 834lb/trim height 21 mm. How important is getting these rear trim heights closer to the 8mm max difference and how could it be achieved without throwing the weights so out of whack as they are very close now. Any suggestions, thoughts. Thanks Jerry

If the weights are on, and the heights are off, I would live with it.

If the weights are close but the height is off by a lot on just one corner, something is bend.
In my case, it was the tub that was hit at one point and not pulled back. I had to throw it on a celette bench to get it back to spec. Now my weights and heights are perfect ... Andy

You should be able to get the heights and weights to come into spec. It is easy to get the weights, but to get both requires more effort. Are you adjusting corner weights with driver weight in the car? How did you determine the optimum weights of each corner?
