I'm planning on adding Roush rear springs to my 2007 v6 convertible to level out the car and when I went to measured the wheel gaps I noticed the passenger side rear wheel is .5 inches higher than the drivers side rear wheel.

Has anyone else had this with their car? Any ideas what can cause this? I was guessing it's either a bad spring or shock on the driver side that's causing it to be lower. The car only has 45,500 miles.

Thanks,
Mark

give it a while to settle out if you just swapped it. do you have something heavy in the trunk by chance? speakers or something?

I haven't swapped them yet. The gap is with stock springs and shocks.

I ask this in all sincerity: were u measuring on level ground? Sometimes, even if the ground looks level, it might not be. My car always seems lopsided in my driveway. Used to drive me crazy...until I realized it wasn't level....and no kidding, it looks level.

Marky82

lol, I actually considered that! Yes, it was level and I measured in more then one location and the results were the same.

How full was the gas tank?
Doesnt passenger side empty out before driver in our saddle shaped tanks?

Marky82

It was 75% full.

Lem-06

Well at 75% the passenger side would possibly be under half way down.
Since even at 0 the driver side still has a gallon or two in reserve un-measured.
Not entirely sure how much of a weight diference that is but it could be cause of this.
Maybe refuel and measure as soon as possible?

I'm going to say that it is perfectly normal. Sorry, I can't tell you why it is, but every ford I've owned has been this way.

My car is higher on the passenger side to. Not quit .5", but I even had my performance shop switch my rear Saleen springs, and it was the same. Erik
