Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) 2005 Roadster Axle issue

Springs swapped over, that was a solid 8 hours work! I took the opportunity to nip of a little more of the outboard U bolt threads whilst they were off, just to make sure of clearance. It’s righted it; in that there is now no list to the left. A good gap bump stop to axle on both sides. Drives absolutely lovely, took a 16 stone friend out on the test run with me, no apparent issues rides great. Pic taken after run out.
Before

After

While the car was on stands all round, prior to change over. I took measurements from the ground to specific spots around the body of the car either side. There is 10mm difference to the body work along the passenger side, to that of the drivers. Chassis was the level ground to er.. chassis, all round. I put a spirit level across the chassis members, the readings were the same on all the ladders as it were. No apparent cracks, damage, twists etc.. I would have thought 10mm would be within tolerance?
However this has now created another possible issue with the SSL front springs. I now have a 15mm gap on the driver’s side from top of rebound to the stub axle (see pics). If I adjust the spring down I am sure that will drop the rear and surely put too much pressure on the main spring. Conundrum or what.
Passenger side is at 35mm bottom ring to top and Drivers now 55, which is without adding a further 15mm! May need to put the old stuff back on....





Thanks for tolerating me 
