lower on one side than the other??why???

Postby phatman3801 » Fri Jan 06, 2006 11:01 pm

ive just put sone coilovers into my ae111 in the front, now before i put them in i always notoicted the passenger side in front was always a little bit higher than the other side, i always assumed it was just the lowering springs, that they were slightly differnt or sumthing, but after putting these coilovers in the front and setting them both at the same adjustment it is still a little bit higher on the passenger side, i no this is easyly fixed by winding that side down a bit more, but before i do i wanna try find out whats wrong and casing one side to be lower than the other in the front, any sugesstions why????

no usually left side tends to sag more over the years because left side of the road is basicly more rough and got more camber (the road that is).

Maybe a really fat person owned your car once and the constant lone driving caused that side of the car to sag. :P
