I have a R32GTR, and recently replaced the stock suspension on the car with some coil overs.
When we pulled out the factory stuff, we found that the right rear strut had been 'spaced' between the strut top and the body mount with about an inch of aluminium disc spacers. The left rear was not.
I initially thought this could be a fix for a leaky strut, but when we replaced with the coilovers we found that the RR sat about an inch lower than the LR with the same strut / spring heights...
As a result, the RR is now wound up about an inch higher on the threads than the LR, - does this mean we now have preload on the RR side?
I have since talked to the previous owner asking if it has ever had a rear shunt or damage, and he said no - he's owned it since new. He didn't even know it had been spaced. I'm now waiting for him to contact the mechanic that was looking after the car to see if we can figure out what the deal is.
Which leads me to my questions-
1. What may cause this? Swaybar out? Whole cradle out? Chassis?
2. Who can diagnose / fix it? Will centreline be able to remedy it?
It is concerning me a little... as the car sees occasional track use and i don't want the balance to be out.
Cheers for keeping with the thread this long!
See these spacer thingies...
