Hi
I have an issue, that after chainging the knulckles (with discbrakes attached) that the front is riding a lot heigher than before. Something like 5-10cm. I also changed the dampers, but I tried to put it on the ground without and the result is the same.
After a small test drive I noticed that one of the leafspring block were cracking, so I changed the leafspring, block and clamps as well. Tigthtning the leafspring to almost horisontal before mounting it (by using a M10 rod in place of the damper and lifting it up). Upper A-bar as well as all tierods and steering damper is also changed.
Another curious thing.
The steering is horrible (un-driveable), but I guess thats because the angles are all messed up.
I guess there is at least two options to why the heigh is all wrong
1. The new knuckle has a different height from the leafspring bolt to the axle center. This is the new knuckle
2. The new spring is to stiff/not tensioned enough (im pretty sure that the height was the same before the new spring was fitted).
I guess I could resolve it by mounting a lowered spring/lower blocks, but I want to find the culprite first
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe somebody could measure the distance like in the picture here (I get mine to 90mm). As well as the distance from the leafspring bolt to the ground facing to the front of the car. (Mine is 175-180mm)
