R20 front droop?

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

A rare washed shot having got little dirty in Derbyshire at weekend.

It was suggested, I think by BigBunny that the front end is down.

Drive parked on does slope upwards with truck, any suggestions
on by how much it should be adjusted?

Looks pretty level to me if anything a tad high at the front or down at the rear take your pick?

I have to say that it does not look too bad in that picture...

This is what I call "Front end droop"

thanks will try for a level ground shot.

what should measurements be?

thanks will try for a level ground shot.

what should measurements be?

According to the manual...

For 265/70/15 tyres and with wheel arch trim
Front 815mm 32.09in Rear 846mm 33.31in

and for 235/70/15 tyres and no trim
Front 815mm 32.09in Rear 855mm 33.66in

Measurement taken from ground to apex of wheel arch curve.

Since that is for an unladen car with perfect suspension, and on level ground, where as your car has stuff in, and is used, meaning the suspension will have sagged a bit, I would just measure the back, and then measure the front, and if it is less than 1.3 inches lower, leave things be.

in lamens the front needs to be lower than the rear to aid braking and stop wheel wobble on harsh acceleration (light front end) :thumb2

Lazy Ferrets awesome specs there

thanks the 1.3 " bit makes sense as is can tow heavy and load heavy so back end
will come down regularly.

Looks about right to me but in the workshop manual it does give the measurements & how to check it for a standard T2:thumbs mine was down by about 1-1.5" so reset it to what it should be
