Rear Suspensiom Ride Height - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

TAMMRICH · 04-24-2010

My car sits about 1/2" higher on the right hand rear side, I'm told that this can be adjusted easily is that true? If so, how is it done?
Thx Richard

you can adjust thre ride height by buying nylock nuts to fit the bolys tha go through the reaer springs as you may nor be able to put the cottor key in after adjusting them . but you may want to look into buying another rear spring as yours may be losing its tension

ck that last message as i didn t have my glasses on . you can buy nylock nuts to replace the nuts on the rear spring bolts . then adjusting them to balance out the rear springs . but i would look into getting another rear spring as your may be losing its tension

thats the large bolt facing downwards that has a nut and cottor pin, correct? I have a nyloc nut for that, so I simply unscrew the cottor pin nuts and replace them with a nyloc nut and adjust the height that way? is there any correlation between the amount I want to lower that side and where the position of the nyloc nut should be? For instance, I want to lower it by 1/2" should the nyloc nut be 1/2 lower than the current position of the cottor pin nut?
