Lowering the Micra, allignment?

[micka]

I have lowered my micra 70mm all round and have noticed that the rear wheelon the passenger side is inside the arch and on the drivers side the wheel is more on the outer side of the arch?

Why have the wheels and axle shifted slightly to one side, it was fine before i lowered it sooooooooo much!

What can i do to fix this rather than putting a 5mm spacer on the passenger side to even the allignment?

Any suggestions (someone said something about a panhard rod whiteline, why would this happen in the first place?)?

Any advise would be greatly sought, thank you.

It's due to nissans dodgy suspension design, as the car gets lower the wheels lean slightly, to fix this you need an adjustable panhard rod

i made do with a spacer (zero cost and no rusted in bolts to remove)

A spacer won't change the angle though will it, if the angle is too bad then the rear of the car will steer slightly in one direction making a very unpredictable ride. I guess you could shorten the factory rod if yiou wanted to save cost

This is why:

More down it goes the more wonkey it goes.

Nissans dodgy flipping suspension, grrr! Any one got a adjustable pan hard rod cheap?

you can pick up brand new whiteline panhard rods for £100
