One of the main issues with the Citroen Saxo is the difficulty in leveling the front axle with the rear. However, there is a solution that only requires a bit of patience.

First, remove the tyres and loosen the stabiliser bar bolt until it is completely removed. Repeat the same action for the torsion bar bolt.

These operations should be repeated independently on both sides. At this point, you can manually adjust the height of the two rear shock absorbers by acting on the two washers of the axles.

This way, the shock absorbers fully decompress, allowing you to modify their height while ensuring you have a reference point. When they are level on both sides, you can refit all the parts removed earlier.
