Default X-6 offset rear droop???????

OK, I swear I've not been at the wacky weed, but the rear droop on my X-6 appears offset! Ie, more droop on the right than left. I measured the shocks and they're the same. I put a 30 thou spacer inside the right shock and the droop now looks the same.

I've not measured it properly with droop blocks (a-la touring car) but its noticeable to the eye.

Anyone else have this?

Cheers,
Scotty P.

It shouldn't be like that.

Check the rear bulkhead is sitting down fully on the chassis.

Make sure there's no binding in the suspension, or bent hinge pin

Check the screws that mount the shocks top and bottom are not bent.

Good one G. If the inserts are not seated into the hex part correctly you would see about a 30 tho' offset, could be bang on that!
