Noticed that the ride height on my 20v CQ is about 15mm lower on the drivers side, and toe in looks all wrong on the passenger, coupled with a clunk from the rear, and the previous owner welding up a crack in the rear diff cage, Im starting to think wether the whole back end might need to come out, new bushes etc the lot. Any thoughts if you please! is this a classic problem?
Just done exactly that! Unfortunately I can't see anything untoward, is it possible it's just a weak spring? Nothing looks bent. It's the o/s rear. I'd replace them as a pair to eliminate it all as my next step in sure. My front alignment is out too so I need to do this and sort the rear out first! Haha
Many thanks
Maybe one of the top mounts has completely collapsed or the spring isn't seated properly, either way your going to need to get in there and have a look.
A set of non aircon S2 Coupe springs would be a cheap upgrade and lower the car slightly.

After letting the car down and taking it for a shakedown and checking the height on level ground it's sitting perfectly. It will probably go down again but il have a look out for some S2 springs! One thing I've definitely found is that the o/s rear is toeing out and the n/s toes in a lot, so need a 4 wheel alignment, does anyone have the specs for a CQ 20v?
