Hi, i dont mean to sound like an idiot but i havent checked things out yet since its freezing up here.. My problem is my drivers side sits lower than the passenger in the front, (ie. driver side wheel gap = 0 fingers passenger = 1)
1) Is this normal? I just noticed and have been riding it for awhile. Why i just noticed, idk.
2) what suspension parts should i be looking at to adjust it back? ball joints? hub? I would like to get an idea of what to check out before i go at this since the weather sucks up here and i have no garage.

Also, my setup is kyb agx's with tein s-techs. They shouldnt be blown since it was put on this past summer. Thank you for any help

seems like its a common problem for 5g civics. could be a bushing issue. i disagree that worn shocks would have anythign to do with this tho.

i like the one persons explanation that lowering the car accentuates the difference between sides, so thats its more noticable when the relative gap is less.

the only other thing i would suggest is to rezero your bushings. you have to loosen your suspension bolts and retighten them under static load. should have been done when you installed new suspension, or else this is what kills bushings.

 

ok im not sure what you mean by static load though, care to enlighten me?

Static load...okay...you'll need some carpet and a balloon...

static = not moving. Put the tires on, set the car on the ground, and loosen/tighten the suspension bolts under the car's normal load. When you tighten everything in the air (as on jack stands or a lift) you can bind the bushing in that orientation and the weight of the car might not be enough to overcome this. This would cause part of the car to be higher (since the suspension is fully extended when jacked up).

LOL, classic

 

this is common? i went out and measured it today and from each fender the difference is 1inch.

 

Same problem with my 99 civic. Stock springs, aftermarket, whatever, same result unless I balance it out with coilovers.

 

wow thats just strange, maybe thats why i didnt notice it before, just assumed they would sit even

 

an inch is too much....something is wrong.....what, I don't know
