I need help figuring out what could be wrong with my rear suspension. My rear passenger fender gap is between 2 7/8 & 3, and the other 3 fender gaps are 2. I just put 1" spacers on the back, and I am pretty sure "or never noticed it" that the gap was the same before the spacers. I have new Koni Strt struts that were put on about 3 months ago. I jacked the back end up with the rear end. So I am at a lost on what could be causing this. Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Has the car ever been wrecked? Mine was never wrecked, but it does the same thing. I even changed the upper and lower control arms and springs. Over time, the frame begins to develop a little sag. I have seen several Ford and Chevy cars with the one-side slant. You can try to level it with a spacer.

 

Yes, I think it was hit in the rear a little bit. That was before I got it. I can understand the sag, but it would happen just because I basically took the tires off and put them back on would it. I mean I did nothing but jack it up, take rear tires off, put spacers on, put tires back on, and lowered it back down.

 

Get your car up on a lift supported by all the wheels. Get under there and measure everything on each side and will find out why one side is higher than the other. Spacers will not create this issue and unless the springs are much shorter than OEM, they should not have come out of a perch and created this issue either.

You may also check to see if the springs are indexed the same on both sides as well.

 

Ok, so I changed out the LCA's so I got new bushings, and I took the iso's out and made sure the pigtails were both in same position, and the back pass. is still raised. I checked the height around vehicle, and it is 6 7/8 (from ground to bottom of car) all down driver's side, and on passenger it starts to change right about the mirrors. Any other ideas? I am at a total loss of thought on this.

 

Has the car been drag-raced a lot with drag radials or stickier tires?

No, it is just a daily driven car.
