Bad instillation, need new mounts, not sitting right or catching, etc. Take a closer look and it should be obvious if you can tell it's off just by looking at it. Just poke your head in there and look around (I guess that doesn't sound so good). Dirty..dirty mind ....lol .

There are 2 or 3 little notches in the strut that you can adjust. They determine where the bottom support of the spring will sit. Maybe you have 1 notch set to up and 1 set to down or something?

Its recommended by koni not to below the middle setting, do to blowning the strut out. Kinda sounds just like the spring is not sittin onthe perch right. This happend to a friend of mine with the mcpherson setup.

mine does the same thing! Don't know why?



There is no gap on this side, which really looks nice


There is about a 2 finger gap on this side


Im rolling on some Tein drop springs and stock shocks. No body ever really notices it, but it bugs the **** out of me.

Let me know if there's any resolution. I took it all apart and put it together when i did the five lug, checked all the bushings and made sure everything was perfectly snug and still no dice!

!bump!

Mine does it too, but it drops lower on the front driver side and the rest are even. I put coilovers on and evened out the car myself.

Ya mine did it on omnis, cause of the weight of the engine... I rub only on that side too it sucks... im gonna re preload.. but if you are adjustable in any way i just raised that side up till it was even

When you put in the springs did you make sure the botem of the spring was in there right? Theres a notch where it sits in there, hard to explain but if you look at it youll know exactly what i mean.
