    rear beam issues???help please

    i have a 1995 williams 3, i have noticed that it sits wonkey on the drivers side rear. I have looked through the forum for anything that can fail and the only thing i can find is the trailing arm bushes. but i dont know if these failing could cause this if anyone can shed any light on the situation would be greatly appreciated.

    I dnt think it's anything to do with the shocks? As I believe that on the rear all they do is absorb the bounce from the torsion bar? Not to sure on that one. And Im pretty sure that they are still on the mounting brackets not to sure on that one either can you point me in the rite direction to what I'm looking for.

    well yeah it does help if they are connected to the car though .lol
    If you remove a shock, it does affect height !!

    check the bar isnt bent!

    Look for a kinck or bend in the angle section running across from one side to another.
