Well, the manual refers to an allowance of 1/2" variation from left to right, which seems an awful lot to me!

All the important bolts were torqued up with the weight of the car on them, so there shouldn't be a problem there.

I'll endeavour to check the suspension and chassis geometry as best I can, but frankly I think fitting shims to lift the drivers side might be the expedient way to fix it. I will jack up the front right chassis to lift the car to the same height as the left side, to see if that also brings the rear right to the same as the rear left, in which case I only need to shim the front. Otherwise shims both ends.

Where exactly would the shims be placed, is there a preferred position? Nigel above referred to a 7 mm spacer on his GT, is this the best place? What about at the rear? Are these available or would I have to get them made?
