Thread: Fender Lean

Ok this has probably been gone over a few times but i'm new here so here goes
Well my 2000 130 seems to sit about 20 mm lower on the passenger side rear that the right. i has a look at the sway bar cos i thought if the little arms had moved they might push it up but it seems they are both facing straight down. my driver side rear shock has a big dent in it but i that is the side that is higher no lower so didn't think that would be the problem. So how do i check if my springs are kaput? i know the driver side front has been replaced before i bought it but the back seems to have dual springs, dunno if this is normal but has a little one inside the big one and everything looks pretty normal, so any idea why the fender would be sagging on that side?

All springs sag. I'll told they have a higher carbon content than in the old days, so they don't crack.

If springs have been replaced before, you don't really know whats in there. Duals in the rear of a 130 are normal though.

You really need to pull them out and stand them on the bench to pick the culprit.

LR springs are sometimes handed, to counter the t/case & driver in RHD models.

Theres some good stuff here
