Hi Gareth Yes optiline wheel alignment is correct as the camber of the wheel can be noticed also the inside of the tyre is wearing badly so all this fingers crossed will rectify the issue we shall see if not then I know that it's all been done and I'll deal with it but hopefully it will be sorted once a lair of brand new springs are fitted. Thanks again Kind regards Chris

I have had the car looked at and been advised to get both springs replaced and get it optilined, The garage I have bought the car from has said he will do the springs free of charge including the Labour if they are broke etc but if not then I just have to pay for the springs (not bad I spose) I spoke with the garage that will do the optiline and he has said could it be the shock absorber what do you people think in this matter or would the shock absorber not make this be a 12mm difference from the other side . Sorry to keep on about it but I'm trying to avoid spending out loads and still having the problem. Kind regards Chris

Hi Gareth No offence taken and I appreciate everyone trying to help with the problem,it's booked into be looked at the garage I use and costing me 5 costa coffees for the lads in the garage still cheaper than Audi so happy days, hopefully I'll have an answer to the problem tomorrow. Regards Chris

Hi Cliff I will be looking into this further this week to try and rectify the issue. I did think that if I had a broken spring then it would bang now and then when cornering or with a full car?, The car drives fine dont pull to left or right its had a HPI check and an AA inspection as all cars at this garage so say have! Thanks all for your help with this . Kind regards Chris

Hi Gareth I did buy the car second hand yeah and noticed this issue a day later and took it back , they have said if I get it diagnosed they will sort the issue as they have had a look and they can't see nothing ,the car had a brand new M.O.T when I bought it, the starnge thing is on level ground the car dont look like its leaning at the back you can see this from the side ,I'm hopefully going to get this into the garage this week to be checked if not by the garage I would normally use then by an Audi garage , Regards Chris

The handling does not feel bad at all it corners well , I am going to get the garage I use to have a look and see if he can see anything and then report back to the garage I bought this from , the garage I bought it from done the cam belt and water pump Thursday and did have a look he said the springs were the same as the dots on them are the same colour , he did say that the damper was a little wet at the top but did say this may be due to the wet weather we have had , could this be the issue if a damper is leaking? Kind regards Chris

Hi Gareth I have just just checked the measurement from arch to centre of wheel and it's actually 1/2 an inch diffrence. Kind regards Chris.

Hi Gareth I will have a look and measure it the way you say it should be done as I have been measuring it from the underside of the arch to the top of the tyre ,will get back to you shortly, I feel that the garage should be sorting this issue as I have raised it with them but they have had a look and can not see anything wrong with it and it still has the original springs. Thanks Chris

That was my argument aswell but I'll see what feed back I get and go from there it' just one of them things it don't make no difference to the drive but it's annoying me because I know it's different. Thanks Chris

Hi I did think this myself but its the same with or without a full tank but yeah it is the same side as the fuel tank Thanks Chris

Hi Steve thanks for getting back to me and thanks for welcoming me to the forum, my car has been like it since I bought it and I raised the issue with the garage they are willing to repair it if I diagnose the issue, it was in for a cambelt and water pump yesterday and they had a look and springs are fine . Thanks Chris

Hi anyone help me please, for some reason my suspension on the rear of my car is about 10m different to the other side does anyone know why this is ?
