Anyone near Kings Lynn Norfolk with IID tool?

Just wondering if anyone with a IID tool is near by and would be prepared (for beer tokens) to look at my suspension height settings? The disco is sat with one back arch in the air after changing the upper rear wish bone and no longer drives straight without constant adjustment.

Sounds like the height sensor has been damaged, or moved. The height shouldn't change (much) just by changing a top arm. You need to find the cause before making height edits. Richard

That's exactly what I did. When fitting the rear bushes I moved it by mistake. It need re calibrating I think.

It shouldn't matter if you move the height sensor.

Did you tighten the arm bush bolts at standard ride height i.e. 485mm measured from centre of the hub up to the underside of the wheel arch trim? or was the suspension hanging down? Stu

If I'm totally honest I think it was hanging down

You need to release them and retighten at the correct height as the bushes are under tension and won't last long. whether that is causing your 'sitting up' problem i'm not sure but maybe it is. Stu

Thanks for the replys guys. I'll have the wheels off and loosen the bolts. How tight should they be?
