Suspension lean
What would cause my car to be lower on the driver's side than on the passenger side? The front driver side is 1/2 inch lower than the passenger and the rear driver side is over an inch lower than the passenger side!

RE: Suspension lean
The rear can affect the front. or some one changed the shocks/springs on one side but didnt do the other side...and possibly the lower side might have had lowering springs/shocks. Check to see if they are the same make model shock/spring.

RE: Suspension lean
i used to have that lean, went away after new tires, springs, shocks, struts, control arms, spring isolators
lol one of those has to be the culprit

RE: Suspension lean
yeah, its not the tires and its not the springs. The springs are all the same b/c i bought them as a set and had them installed a while back as a set. But yeah, i'm thinking the front being lower is b/c of the rear. Hummmm.... i guess i just have to investigate it a lil more

Bent lower rear control arm, or damage to mounting area.

RE: Suspension lean
+1 on a bent control arm, i have a bent front one and the rear of my car looks phuked up because of it so i think the front can effect the rear
