#1: Car tilted Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Sep 05, 2012 1:05 pm ---- After all these months I've just realised the car is tilted to the right, there is almost no arch room on the right with plenty on the left. I want to get the car lowered but not sure if I will need a new torsion bar? If not must I only get the front lowering springs?
Thanks for any advise.

would that mean new axle or can they be fixed?

look around for a young axle to avoid the next being a little wron too

Depends how far they've gone as to weather or not they have scored the beam. But usually by the time it gets to the stage you notice camber on the wheel it's too late and more economical to get a decent 2nd hand axle or a refurb one.

#8: Re: Car tilted Author: Coolspot, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 5:32 am ---- If you axles fine lowering it will wear it out faster. (depending how low u go)
But my axle was lowered and had nackerd bearing and i could see the wheel wobbling and feel it when going around corners.
