Hi folks
Strange one this...... I measured all corners for ride height and it is the same except the right/rear, which is an inch higher. maybe I need to loosen all rear suspension bolts and re-tighten whilst sitting on solid ground. There has been no suspension work done since 1999 and has Gabriel red shocks all round. Any ideas?

Re: Ride height
Craig, great question. i have the same exact thing on my 82. No signs of it ever being in an accident. I changed out the springs and replaced a trailing arm. Yet, i still have about a one inch difference. Everything is where it is supposed to be, I'm beginning to think it came out of the factory that way.
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!

Re: Ride height
Are the springs sitting in the pads correctly..top and bottom? They are formed so the end of the spring sits nicely in a pocket. Perhaps the end of the spring is riding on top of the pad.
