My cars lop-sided!

Post by gw_mr2gtt »

Evening all,

I'm not a happy bunny :x
Just finished cleaning the car and as I parked her back up at the front of my house I heard a clonk and it didn't feel like it was sitting right. So I got out and had a look around and noticed that at the back the car is sitting lower on one side! I can get four fingers between my arch and wheel on the nearside and two on the drivers side :-k
Now I had new Bilstein B6 struts and Eibach springs fitted all round about three weeks ago, I'll be p*ssed off if something has failed already.

Any suggestions on what to check would be gratefully received!

Cheers chaps, I had a good look around today and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. It drives fine aswell :?
Think I best take it to my mates garage and get it up on the ramp.

I've noticed this too. Mine is slightly lower on the passenger side - less than one finger width though. :-k

Please update us if you find the cause.

There may not be anything wrong with it, if youve still got the same suspention on it that it had when imported it may have been set up like this in jap land.

I remember reading on here that some japs had lower suspention on the pass side for picking up chicks. :|

Just thought id add that :D
