Hello all
Have not been on here for a little while. The car has been running fine, however, I have noticed that the o/s/r wheel arch is approx 1/2 inch lower than the n/s/r. 27.5 in and 28 in.
Anything to be concerned about. I haven't noticed it before.
Thank you in advance.

Probably coil spring "sag" and/or a height control valve setting or operational issue.

If you do not have a copy of the Spirit series workshop manual, I suggest you use the free download of the relevant workshop manual for your car from our Technical Library:

Roger chech the rod joints and pivots on the height control valve are not seized. When I had an '81 Spirit and '82 Mulsanne this was a regular maintenance item.
