Hi,
We have just raised the rear beam on the track 205.
It was too low before, but raising it by one spline has made it quite high! Roughly how much (mm) does 1 spline up/down translate too?
Another one.... The ride height was slightly out (we were going to try moving one side two splines, and the other one) but due to the large movement in the radius arm that wasnt practical!
What would cause one side to be aprox 10mm higher/lower than the other?
Thanks

Is it a torsion bar on the back of a 205?
If it is, i'm taking a wild one here, but could there be more tension on one side than the other?

the bars tension up yes.... but they are splined, so cannot be put in willy nilly.
I think the pre owner of re-furbed rear beam set the height wrong.
I'm going to remove both torsion bars, set the ride height with some dummy shocks then re-insert torsion bars again. Should even it up
