Morris Minor Owners Club

To give a small adjustment of height of front suspension on one side do I use a higher hole in the vernier plate to lower and vice versa to to raise?

Exactly right. Each hole up/down results in approx 1/4" of ride height difference if I recall correctly.

You are absolutely correct that each hole up or down varies the suspension by 1/4". Down a hole raises the suspension - up a hole lowers the suspension.
Well that is the theory anyway.
Adjusting one side may have an effect on the ride height of the other side suspension so you may end up doing both sides.
Unless you have replaced your torsion bars recently the 1/4" may not be obtainable because as the torsion bar ages the ability to retain the original height diminishes and you may have to adjust by more than one hole to get the 1/4".
If you are singleton user of the Minor it is best to have the drivers side slightly higher so as when only the driver is aboard the car sits level.

Thanks for replies.
I've moved the arm to the highest hole in the vernier; now looks higher

Unless your description is not as you intended and you have used a higher hole in the vernier plate you have lowered the suspension.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To raise the suspension you must use a lower hole in the vernier plate.

I wanted to lower the driver's side which has always appeared higher than the nearside and have used the highest/top hole in the vernier plate I have a road trip to the Lot Valley, France starting tomorrow so it will be interesting to see if the suspension "settles". I haven't measured as per alignment chart which will be the only way to be sure if there is a difference in height

The post should have read "now looks lower" (or level) as that is what you have done.
