Hi, I'm currently mid way through rebuilding my car. I recently replaced the rear beam (which was much easier than i thought) but upon de-jacking it, the rear end of the car was a lot lower than the front . The replacement beam was used, off a low mileage car (but i didn't see it on the car). There is no noticable play in the arms, wheels look straight, the arms rotate (admittidly not much before they hit the bump stops) and the rear end is equally low both sides. It was visibly in good condition too, still in the original paint. I suspect it is lowered (about 50mm), but before i go and have a go at raising it and potentially waste my time, are there any problems that may have caused it to lower? My old one was ballsed, but only on one side was it lower, siezed, there was visible play and the wheel wasn't straight! It is the only refference i have. I also can't contact the guy i got it off. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers Dan
