The front of my 65 notch is lowered but sits lower on one side.
Although not a life or death problem, it's enough visually (about 10-15 mm from side to side) different to annoy me. As it's drivers side lower, maybe a string of fat lonely bloke owners causing sag over time? Whatever the cause, would I be right in thinking it's either change both springs for a good used set, or fiddle with the inner and outer spline settings till I get it more level? I'm not sure what height change you get from inner and outer, inner is less as I understand.
It's currently lowered, not drasticly though, but I'm not sure by how many splines and inner or outer, as it was that way when purchased by me.
Any thoughts on the above or other suggestions?

Re: Front spline advice needed
There are a different number of splines on the inner and outer ends, so by adjusting both, it is possible to fine tune the height.
There is a formula in the factory workshop manual (and maybe the bentley also), if I can remember I'll try and dig it out.
