My 98 GU is 20mm lower on the right then the left, swaped the springs and checked the sway bar but cant see any reason for it to be this way. Any suggestions to why and how to fix it?
Thanks for any help.

Did swapping the springs make any difference?

After a while my Dobinsons sagged on the drivers side too, so I swapped them over..... no change.
I then fitted 30mm spacers on the drivers side and 15mm spacers on the left side and now she sits level.

Did you put in 30mm spacers on all corners? If you did just take out the spacers on the left.
If your car sits 20mm down on the right, and is the same after swapping springs left to right, that indicates that your car is very heavy on the RHS.

Is that what you're saying Tony?

Hi Tony,

In my case, the right hand springs were longer when they were new, but after a few years they sagged to the same length as the left side. I took them all out and measured them and they were the same length. It was a case of replacing the springs and risk the same thing happening again or use the spacers. The spacers did the job and it hasn’t changed in over a year.

You could try that if you want to go higher or go to 10 - 15mm spacers on the left side if you don't mind being a bit lower.
