Have you done one on the torsion bar adjustment? The rear of my Traveller is a bit low.
Thanks

@@shaundorney5342 Hello Shaun, thanks for your message and email. We haven't done a video on that yet. However is the ride height different from one side to the other or just at the rear? It might be worth looking at your rear springs if it is both sides.

[@shaundorney5342]

@ thanks. Yes it seems to be both sides. I took it to a suspension place and they said they could look at the springs retensioning but I suspect it may be that torsion bar adjusting plate that has different holes in it that needs to be looked at as well.
Love your channel- thanks very much

@shaundorney5342 How about measuring the distance between the rubber bump stop and trunnion on the front of both sides and see if it is the same? Then have a look at the distance between the bump stop and the body of the car and see if there is a difference at the rear. This should help identify where the issue is. That may indicate whether it needs adjustment at the front or work doing on the rear springs 👍
