Allright Guys,

Posting in here so I can hopefully get some local help,

Basicaly I bought a replacement axle for my 106, It was suppose to be standard but when we put it on the car it was lowered,

Recently I've noticed the left hand side is lower than the right, See Pic,

Is there anyone near glasgow area who is experienced with Torsion bars as I need this fixed, Happy to pay to get it done, If there's no one on here that can do it is there anywhere you's would recommend.>

I don't know any garages near your area man, I get mine done in a place called Whitburn and I get my axles from a place in Harthill.

I think it will rub if its a flat arched model, Search the threads in the suspension part of the forum, you should beable to find out in there

If your competent with a spanner its not that tricky to sort out. Just a remove one torsion bar (completely) and set the height the same as the other side.
