One side Lower than the other?
Friday, August 12, 2005 11:39 AM
Whats up guys,
So I put my springs on about 3 weeks ago, and they are doing good, the car looks good. I was noticing in the back, the passenger side looks LOWER than that of the drivers side. I was thinking it was the way it was parked. You can only notice sometimes, but I was just wondering is it something that I did wrong during the installation?

Thanks,
Chris O.

probably where you are parked.... most areas, driveways, ground streets, etc are not perfect... if you park on a slant even just 2 degrees weight shifts...

So I mean, there is nothing wrong with the strut/spring?

Thanks,
Chris.

use a tape measure when the car is on flat level ground and measure up to the top of
the wheel well opening to the ground. of corse make double sure your tires are full first.
And there may be a little difference but as long as its not more then a 1/2 inch you shouldn't really notice it anyway.

good luck



Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.

It's probably just the ground you're parked on. I don't know of too many places that are perfectly flat. Maybe an industrial warehouse or something..

its just the ground. same thing happened to me when i moved. i went to the wawa to get some water and when i came out my passenger side looked alot lower than my drives side. i got in, check the psi in each corner and it was all the same. its more than likely just the ground

Ok... it seems to be sitting lower no matter what type of ground i park on... could there be ANY thing wrong with the spring. or w/ the way its setting in the mount ... etc?

Thanks,

Are you sure you have the right springs on correctly..

Both fronts in front, rears in rear etc.. I know it sounds crazy but sometimes when you work on something for a while you get tired, and slip up.

Trust me I know


Say it with me, "Its not what you know...It's what you can prove"
