Afternoon everyone,

Got a weird one for you. Was just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar, Have had the car for a while now but have just ignored the height difference between my drivers side rear and my passenger. My drivers side is lower than what my passenger is even when noone is sat in the car. Checked tyre pressures, Checked for spacers and cant find any. Car is a '03 with 70K on the clock. Could this difference just be down to compression of the spring from the miles it has done? or any other ideas? I was thinking of getting new springs to resolve the issue. Also Geo on the car is fine as have just had that done recently.

Please see image below for examples:


Passenger Side


Drivers Side


Any ideas welcome

I think your shocks might be fecked ....

I'd also agree with the Above mate, assuming that's 100% parked on a level surface. Check base of shock absobers for oil to see if they're leaking.

Or you're generally the only person in the car and over time the springs have settled more on that side than the other... I'm guessing original springs/dampers and old age, not necessarily a huge issue.

Mines like that! HAd it checked several times and nothing wrong.

Eventually
Wheels in motion identified the rear camber was slightly out which even it up a lot

As above check on a 100% level surface before you get too worried

It doesnt feel unstable when I drive thats the weird thing, they were images on a level surface... Just out of curiosity anyone know what size the actual gap should be?

Grope the ends of the spring & see if there's claret all over your paw.

Our roads break springs regularly.

You'll need an alignment table to check accurately and they'll tell you.
