    Question Level ride height

    I measured the distance on my VX from the peak of the wheels wells to the ground, and was surprised that the driver's side (both front and back wheels) was about 1/2 inch higher than passenger side. Is this normal for a stock VX?

    I did this before installing new tires, and cranking the torsion bar a couple of turns the same on each side. Not surprisingly, both sides of the front raised equally (driver's side still 1/2 inch higher).

    Should I try to level the ride height by adjusting the torsion bar, or is it supposed to be a little higher on the driver's side?
    Thanks for the help. Rob A.

    Good question, My was the same. I could see the passenger side being higher to compensate for road crowning. Maybe they in Japan for go that we drive on the other side of the road Or maybe they are compensating for the fact that there is almost always a driver in the truck and the springs sag???

    Anyone with better ideas? Andy454?
