My left rear is resting higher than my right rear but my left front is lower than my right front. I had bit of fun at the 'Ring a few weeks ago - could i have cooked my dampers?

Could be wrong, but check your right rear spring - it could have snapped. Have you noticed any extra knocks and cracks from the car lately?

A friend had this happen on his Calibra a short while ago.

Could, as you say, be the damper on the left side.

BTW, if it is the spring, I have a UK rear set of springs for sale (will be cheap ) - I had to try

Checked the springs and they all seem ok. Latest theory from an 'expert' at work is that the anti roll bars have been pre-loaded asymetrically and its twisting the whole 'kin car! Not sure about that so i'm going to have it checked out.

Thanks for your help though!
