    Lengthened too much, I may try to find an adjustable jobbie.

    Easy enough to check, set up a string line around the vehicle at hub height, centred off the centreline of the chassis then measure back from the string to your hubs/wheels.

    Do a toe check while you're there too

    I'll get all this air suspension working first, then see if the actual best ride height is what the bags and pistons are designed to be.
    Then I'll set every thing to suit. Should drive and ride like a Rangie once all done.
    Nothing wrong with string lines, nor using a plumb bob and chalking it all on concrete to make sure all is nice and square.

    Sounds good Tony

    My old race mechanic was the head mechanic at a well known and very large Ford dealership in Sydney.
    He loved my stringlines, reckoned they were at least as accurate as the laser aligner at work, and quicker.

    I also used a digital inclinometer/level for camber/caster, so we had it covered.

    Sorry to drag this one up again...
    Ben did the shorter panhard fix the clunks?

    My 130 (300tdi) with king springs has the clunks and sure enough I have a wear mark on the drivers side - not as bad as yours!!!

    I have a spare panhard, If you "fixed" it with a shorter bar I will use the shorter one with new bushes and go from there.
