Car is not level!!!!
Okay, this is fucked! When I bought the car it had a clean title. Well, it still does. But I guess that doesn't mean anything. I dunno. Anyways, the car has always been lower on the left side of the car. You can really tell by looking at the hood. The opening gets bigger from right to left. Well I put in new struts about 6 months ago and it looked pretty even on both sides. The wheels on both sides of the car had about the same gap. Today I was looking at the car and I noticed the gap on the right side is more than the left. So it is still higher on the right side. I don't get it. Is it getting worse??? What can I do? If the frame is bent, will it keep bending??? Or is it the sorry *** Tokiko blues I have. I thought they were supposed to be good, but everyone says they suck. Anyways, any help would be nice
Peace

What happens if you put the car on jackstands...use four jackstands and use the mounts on the inside of the wheels that way the weight of the car, and any suspesion considerations are removed from equation. If the car is really bent, them that'll prove it, otherwise you have suspension/weight issues.

okay... well the car has been up before on jacks and it seemed fine. Must be weight. The car is obviously heavier on the driver side since that is where I sit and the engine sits. Thanks for the input

I've had a 90 accord, 96 civic, 94 civic, and now a 93 civic, and they
have all, I repeat ALL have had this problem. The only way to
change this is with coilovers. I just got used to it.

I have had a '88 CR-X Si, a '95 Civic Si, a '92 Civic CX, and two '92 Civic VXs and they all had the same thing you are describing.
The only Honda that I have owned that does not have this problem is my '98 ITR. It sits level.
No worries...
