Not sure I understand your maths there.
Can you show which is Front Left / Right and rear left / right.
I cant see how you can make 1Kg difference with those numbers. Any pair are more than 1Kg apart. Let alone daigonally or in ay direction at all!
Sorry, I cant see what you mean.
AssuMing you have the left front as 138 and right as 131, then the diagonals would be:
138 to 142 is 4Kg difference
131 to 148 is 17Kg difference
Also what about setting the ride height as well.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

What he means is;
138 + 142 = 280
131 + 148 = 279
So a 1kg difference between the 2 diagonals.
I would say a 7kg difference across the front isnt too bad for road driving and even some track driving.
If you are happy with your cambers, toes and ride heights I would leave it at that.

7k difference? im lost (do you mean 11?)
i should be able to shift battery etc about to move the weight to the right places hopefully.
checked camber which is perfect (set by eye as well so chuffed!) and ride height is about right for now i think.

Looks good to me too. If you can shift some weight on to the offside well and good ( it might help a little in s bends where the first corner is to
the right) but its fairley academic.
I'm assuming the ride heights are consistent side to side?

I'm suprised there is no more weight on the right side of the vehicle or do you weigh a lot less than your motor??

i was quite surprised by that, think i need to start a new diet and put on a good few KG to balance it out lol.
engine isnt too heavy but then exhaust, cat, battery are all that side and engine is offset and right against the chassis rail.
