   who ever lowered it hasn't put the tortion bar back at the same height.

   do you know how they drop the torsion bar is it a case of 5 clicks both end or do they need to measure form the center of the hub??

   if one side is lower than the other, then the WRONG method of lowering has been done.
   
   Your stub pins/bearings won't last as long as they should. Mines been lowered by this method, before i knew there was 2 methods. 25k later, one side has play in it. Not the end of the world, but i'm going to have to look for another beam. Will be my 3rd one lol.
