I did .
I lifted the car on the high side last night at 8:00 PM Florida time.
This Morning at 10:00 am lowered it and took a drive made lots of hard left turns.
I parked it and it did make a small difference.
I will do it again ,and leave it for a longer period of time.

I will keep you informed
Be safe
Have Fun
Zeke

Just measured the difference:
From .75" to 3/8s" of an inch on the rear
From .5" to 3/16s in the front
It still looks crooked from the rear.
Have Fun

By that made me laugh.

Knackered = broken/shagged/tired out
A Knacker = something that is rubbish/crap
Knackers = your nuts mate. As in don't kick me in the knackers.
Knackers yard = where knackered old horses went (http://knackerman.com/

So. . .

I bought this old car, it was a bit of a knacker. Anyhow, I was driving one day when my undies dug into my knackers which caused me to crash into the gates of the local knackers yard.

I got out and had a look at my car - it was completly knackered [:(]
My knackers were still giving my jip, and I tried to re-arrange my wabs. Then, out the corner of my eye I saw this bloke coming towards me. It was the knackerman. He kicked out at me, landing me a beauty in the knackers - I crumbled to the floor in pain. He said "If you weren't driving like a complete knacker-brain you wouldn't have knackered my gates, so bugger off and take that knacker of a car with you."

Is it all clear now?

When I read down your original list of items replaced, I didn't see front springs and dampers. From reading other blogs on the TR7, the
TR7 springs weren't made well or were poorly heat treated. So after
time the spring weaken and "sag". The Left front corner of my car also
was lower than the right, replacing the front springs got them to within 0.25" each other. Since your left side might be as much as 0.75" low,
you might want to check to see if the LF spring is cracked.

Well discribed
Great story to
we call that ,
That happend in your car
before the crash:
A WE D GE. How about it ha!

The car ok till I changed the rear bushins.

The front springs & dampers where also changed at the same time as the rear.

I was thinking of getting some new roll bars ( Bigger ) ( better)
maybe that will do it.???

The anti-roll bar may well be your problem -may be twisted and holding one side of the car up relative to the other. You could see how it sits with the rear bar disconnected for starters. I certainly wouldn't go for bigger (thicker) bars - but the anti-dive modification is well worthwhile at the front. Doesn't stop 'dive' - but does improve the 'turn -in' considerably!
