Setting A32 rear beam.

When the rear end of the car is in the air, one side of the beam appears lower than the other. Is there a way to adjust/fix this? Thanks for any advice.

Nope I am pretty sure they are all like that(on unlevel ground IIRC), do you have an RSB?

If you notice, the trailing arm is off center toward the right. The uneven weight distribution of the rear beam (and all the other unsprung mass involved) causes the left to be a bit lower than the right when it's in the air...

Any other opinions? If it's normal I feel no need to adjust it, but the car has been on D2's and S-Techs so the bushings could be binding as Larrio mentioned.
