Maybe it looks lower... because it is. :doh

You could tweak the torsion bar on that side, or the ARB could be bent!

When u say new arb is it just the ball joint not the actual arb bar.

to be honest mate I don't know never looked I will do asap the mot cost just shy of £450 two small holes to be welded if ide had a welder would have done myself and arb. braking imbalance said it was dangerous the best thing was couple of weeks after mot the passenger side brake pipe that goes to the calliper. rubber pipe had been perishing for a while I guess. and split on the way home from the farm very scary but luckily was driving quite slow glad it happened when it did the day after this me and the family were due to get on the motorway to go away

Easy to do either side separately.
Look at the cross member that goes under the rear of the gearbox, and you will see threaded bolts sticking up above the cross bar, these are the adjusters and should have the same thread length on each side.

Hope this helps.
