I parked my car in a level garage the other day and i noticed that my car seems to be lowwer on the left side by just a bit, enough where i can notice it. I did my best to compare the height in both sides and it seems like the left side is somewhat lowwer by about 8th to quarter of an inch? Anyone got any clues about this? Bump Stop? maybe need to replace shocks? btw i have H and R lowwering springs.

 

check tire pressure? front end alignment?

 

tire presure is at 40 and alignment is fine. Im thinking that my springs on the left side may have sag-ed more that the right side? is that possible?

 

dude, my car is the same way, i hate that , my rear upper control arm on the left, the bushing is shot, i'm thinking it's not being fully supported causing it to sag....

 

Im thinking that the bumpstop on my car is shot, im concidering replacing all the bushings on the suspension....

 

sometimes bcak in the day b4 coilovers...we used to have that problem becuase if you ride solo alot, all of your body weight is on the driver side...and it sags there we used to just swap them for the other side and ware down the other side....but if its you passenger side ....i dont know waht to tell you mine is doing that too...but i got GCs now...so its easy to fix...i'm just to lazy to get out there...hahah hope that helped

 

I noticed the same thing with all new springs and struts,just put on,I thought it was because they were new and I havn't had any passengers in the ride and they were just breakin in.

 

I had the same problem with my H&R's. But after a while, they tend to even up.

 

Can't be your bumpstop. It has nothing to do with how your car sits, rides, or handles. It just cushions the blow if the shock is bottoming out.

 

i think you guys need to loose some weight.

 

hahah true that....Jesse H i didnt know if the bumpstop had anything to do with that but i guess u just help me and ruled out one possibility.
Since i dont have coil overs, maybe switch the rear springs from left to right might not be a bad idea. thanks for the i deas fellas

 

My friends CRX leans hardcore! Hes 6'4" 240#, i think the springs sagged cuz he always drives alone. My car is about 2mm lower on the drivers side. Soon to be cured with new suspension though

 

Maybe its not the springs or suspension at all maybe the left side is lower because of all of those burnouts on a one wheel wonder caused the left tire to wear down a little more. It happened on an old truck that I used to have, tried everything to fix the problem and I just burnt to much rubber.

 

Body weight and riding solo most of the time

 

Hey don't feel bad my car is a 2001 and have the same problem. My 2000 Si was the same. Some people said that Hondas/Acuras are like that. My car was like that without lowering, so I will say don't worry about unless is some type of suspension problem.

 

Also because the motor is on the US drivers side. JDM cars have the driver on the opposite side as the motor, so they probably dont have that problem as much.

 

my car is leaning to the left too. the springs onthe left get more load thats why the car is leaning to the left. after i changed my shocks and got some new tires it's still the same.

 

There is no such thing as a perfectly level car, you only notice the eneveness after it's been lowered, it is perfectly normal for one side to be slightly higher than the other. Do yourself a favor and get coilovers

 

what up Gerald?? Halo your right, the car will probably never be that even. I guess its just an eye sore and the more you look at it the more it bothers you. As far as coilovers, i dont need them they are not applicable to my style of driving. I never really had the time come up where i needed to adjust the height of my car. Its just a waste of money for the purpose on my needs. Maybe if i autocrossed or something and the suspension needs to be tuned.
But again i think the most logical thing to do im my personal situation is rotate the rear springs.

 

It is because the most of the motor's weight sits on the drivers side which makes the car weigh down on the left. And you ask why did they have to put it on the left side? Well my guess is that Since Japan drives right hand drive, the motors weight on the left side will balance out the car when the driver is in the drivers seats(right side) who knows maybe im wrong
