I knew it- I am inclined to agree with you but why has it changed unless someone has played with the torsion bar- its near totally rust free

I just replaced the whole rear beam over the last two days and now the car has a gap of an inch to an inch and a half between the top of tyre and arch. whereas before the tyres were the same margin into the arches.

Dampers can affect ride height......
