My rear beam is lower on one side than the other, its not lowered on the back, but one side looks standard (as it should) the other side looks like it been lowered 30mm! There's no camber at all but is this the first stage of it letting go?

Usually 1 side does seem to sit a bit lower than the other but not as much as 30mm

Yeah, sounds a little odd to me, have you got any pics of it sat on level ground from both sides?

I've heard of torsion bars getting tired and letting go giving the same result.
Does it spring like it should?

torsion bars can sag and bend but it wont effect the height as far as 30mm
