so i went to pick up my girl from volleyball practice and i go up the curb super angle slanted like always, and i hear a small scrape, okay whatever cause i scrape just about every week or so. then i went up a speed bump angled again and when I was flat I noticed that my driver side was noticably lower than the passenger side i'm like wtf so I go to park my car and you can really tell that its lower. then I look under the car for awhile but couldnt see much and took my girl home, when she got in it was the same and then when we took off from the curb we were even again, and then I hit a bump and then my side was higher than the passenger side. weird. I parked my car and it was pretty even and now its in my driveway pretty even too.

i'm guessing maybe its a blown shock or strut or maybe i need a camber kit or something i'm not too knowledgable about suspension

(note) i also have been riding around with only front tein s tech springs(2.5 drop) for about 2 months and was gonna get the back put on friday since i just got my lca bolts and bushings

thanks

Did you check tire pressure? I know its stupid of me to say it, but it could stupidly be your problem...

 

any other ideas? i didnt check **** i just went home washed the car and then ate hot wings. ill check tomorrow after school.

Your problem exactly, did you ever think about checking all the small things instead of making a post on here?

 

tires

 

i just put some air into my tires it was at about 22 on each and the max psi is suppose to be 44 so i set each at about 42 and i think i still feel it. would this happen from busted shocks? im thinking about getting koni yellows if that is the problem.

 

First, I'm no expert. So take everything I say accordingly. Also, I'm assuming you have the stock engine in there, and not a K swap.

Second, the driver side is supposed to be slightly lower than the passenger side, it is stock. The motor is offset in the engine compartment, and the driver side is heavier. Jack the car up from the center jack point on level ground, you'll notice that the driver side is lower than the passenger side, even when both wheels are off the ground.

Third, do some searches, this has been covered many times before. People notice when they lower the car, because the stock fender gap is so large that you can't really tell.

If washing it didn't fix it your car is most likely fucked!!!

Mine looks like it leans a little as well. It's likely it does this due to the fact that I drive alone most of the time... ie more pressure on springs and susp. components on the drivers side. Or it could be on uneven ground.

Your better off opening the driver side door and reading what pressure to put in the tires off the sticker that is there.. Instead of just being like "max is 44 so I put 42" 42 it alot of pressure.

 

you probobly need new shocks

koni yellows
