uneven ride height

i dont think worn shocks make a diff. to the height of the car. Bring it to pedders and get them to check it out, i bet they will say, oh its the shocks and springs, youll need them replaced... with our pedders! hahahha

apparently sometimes with aftermarket sussy the front RHS (drivers) corner is set alittle higher to balance out driver weight? THat's what i've been told...
but rear LHS? hmm.... take it back dude.

deffinately!
lol, dodgiest bastards ever!
man, every time myself or someone i know has been through pedders for a "safety check" they come out with a quote for 2k of work.

"sorry mate, you bushes are all worn, we'll have to replace them". "the shock dyno has an unusual reading, might need to replace the shocks (6 month old koni yellows at the time), wheel bearing is gone etc."

the creaking turned out to be from the dead coils in the progressive springs having a build up of road grime and sand 'n nice stuff like that, not my bushes. the wheel had a bit of play in it because the CV nut was loose (wheel bears were and still are perfect), i asked the guy to check the CV nut for me, but he gave me the whole you-are-not-an-expert brush off that some workshops like to dish out... all up he wanted just under 2k to fix it all, the checkup cost me 27 bucks.
hanny's tightened the cv nut for me (for free), and i went and cleaned up the dead coils myself to get rid of the squeaking. i don't know what was up with the shocks on the shock dyno, but they seem to be controlling the springs pretty well IMO.
