Right a guy nxt door but 1 took my car for an MOT (drives it from my house) i told him that the rear left handside of the car seemed lower and on corners the left handside rocked like a boat whereas the right hand side was perfect !
Anyway he took it to the garage and totally agreed that the lefthandside isnt correct, resulting in failing the MOT  (he said if i hadn't told him it would of passed)
He took it back again yesterday to try and solve the problem but he hasnt got a clue what it is, ive got today of work to try and get it sorted and also then get it MOT'ed again BUT i havent got a clue what it is!!
What is it guys ?!?!
HELP

You have odd shocks and springs don't you?
Just go and buy a set of G-Max shocks and springs for the time being and that will solve the problem.

FAO anyone else.
If u have a lowered Corsa B, this is no problem. Most corsas have this. Donnas passanger rear arch and both my rear passanger arch are very low. Just get my fingers between the wheel n the arch. Where-as the drivers side has a large space.
Bloke talking out of his arse.

Ive bought new rear springs, fits a bit better but handling just as crap on left as before !
Right handside PERFECT left handside when pressure is on that (on a righthandside bend) CRAP !
Grrrrrrrrrr, feel like giving up with the car.. wasted £150 today !

sounds like the shock's gone, but I agree with Daimo, my passenger side rear does sit slightly lower, even used to on the standard setup.
But I would definately get your shocks checked!

btw just to make sure it wasnt the suspension on mine making it lower on that side, i swapped the rear setup around & it made no difference.

hmm are the shocks adjustable?? it still could be a faulty one, or the garage could of damaged them! I'd still get them checked just incase, if they are adjustable then they may not be balanced out, it could be too soft!

Was gonna say the same things as Daimo. All seem to lean slightly to one side
