Sagging suspension

[moeee]

Mine is an OLD Mitsubishi LG300 Van.

The drivers side seems to have settled perhaps an inch lower to the ground than the passenger side.
I'm not particularly FAT.

Would the worn out part be the Coil Spring, The Shocker, or perhaps the bearings in the swingarms?
Or could it be the fault is the passenger side is gone high an inch?

Most likely the front coils spring has sagged.

The old Veradas and Magnas were known to have their rear coil springs sag over time.

Looks like this has happened to your front.

Take them both out and measure their height.

Shockers do not add or deduct height unless their pressurized gas ones.
If you take them out too, check if they push themselves out to max height to know if their pressurized, if one wont naturally extend then you have found your problem.

If both dont naturally extend, they may be (and most likely are anyway) standard oil filled shocks.

Note, if the front does not have coil springs, it may have torsion bar suspension, in which case you can twist the bar to whatever height you like.

The missus used to drive a Mitsubishi Delica which is a similar van as yours moee.
It has torsion bars which you can adjust yourself.

Nah, its got coil springs.

And Godzilla.
I was after a remote Control for my LG Television.
Scored a Universal from TANDY for $10 what does the ASPECT RATIO for me.

Normally the right hand spring will be a little higher than the left. They do that to try and balance the car when the driver is in the right seat.

You can get springs reset at some spring works but I've heard reports it does not last but it would be cheaper than replacements.

Supercheap have a fairly cheap set of spring compressors too if you need them. Clamps on each side and you just wind it down.

Watch them, ive seen them let go.

Its like a hand grenade going off.

Wrap a cloth and rope around the spring when using them, its cheaper than dental work or just get a better set.

Before I had these many years ago I simply undid the nut at the top and jacked the wheel up then removed the strut and spring to put it back I had a large 30 mm diameter threaded rod and two metal plates with a hole blown through the middle.

I put the spring between the two plates and wound it down the put a couple of chains around the coils and bolted it together then very carefully removed the screwed bar and assembled the strut.

Point taken re the spring compressors.

I should add I have a large garage trolley jack, which was recalled shortly after I bought it, I tried to find out what the problem was and it was to do with the rated capacity on the label. I normally only use it on small cars and ALWAYS use jack stands if I getting under so I kept the jack which cost $260 rather than have to pay $500 or $600 for a new one.
