Bottom forks

[Lee76]

Im not sure if i first wrote this in the wrong section....

I have just replaced the fork seals,  but upon putting it all back together,  have got the nearside fork at the top yoke, 8mm higher than the offside.

I have lost the difference by clamping it up whilst pushing it down,  but cant help feeling that this is going to upset the balance. 

Am i right?

The distances should be exactly the same or the bike won't be balanced properly.

There is a clip that I believe being from delboy garage explaining how to align the forks.

Unfortunately for you, I can't be arsed to find that clip on yt

 

Usually you will tighten the top of the fork at the correct position and the bottom is tighten once you have aligned the bottom of the forks with the wheel in place by plunging the front suspension a few times. It should align itself.
