quick question.. when i look at my car from behind, it seems that the right side side sits higher than the left. i got out a tape measure and measure from the ground up to the back bumper. the right side does sit higher than the left by buy 1/2 in. my uncle suggested measure it to the control arm because something may be wrong w/ the body? but i haven't had time to do that. honda claims thats normal in a car, i had them check out the back suspension and they said it all looks fine. and when i got the car the carfax showed a clean title so i don't think its been in an accident before i got it

any help is great
thanks

idk if these will help at all cause its kinda tuff to tell in a pic since its about 1/2in but i also took some measurements. in person you can deff tell when your looking at the car from behind

got pics

 

i take it your on stock suspension? are the shocks both good?

is there something you have inside the car on the drivers side such as a sub box?

 

ya stock suspension, shocks are good, i do have 2 12s in the back but the enclosure is as wide as the smaller part of the trunk

Yeah mine leans on the drivers side as well. I think it's a fairly common problem on the civics.

 

k well thats kinda good to know. my buddy has the same car as i do and his sits fine so i was not sure what was up

 

left sides always heavier on USDM cars since its LHD. RHD cars are heavier on the right side. wouldnt you think it makes sense since all the stuff you use to control the cars on the left and the left of the cars tilting?

 

thats a really good point, never thought of that but how come my buddy's em2 (same exact car) doesn't sit funny. my dads tsx sits even and most cars i look at seem to sit even

 

have you measured theirs? in all honesty, all 2 cars arent perfectly alike. that .5 inches isnt going to make a big difference. if you cant adjust using coilovers or GC's like i can, then i guess you cant do anything about it. Or you could put more air in the tire than the other. maybe its the air in your tires?

 

i checked that out and all 4 are running at 32 psi. and ya i know .5in isnt that big of a deal but i can notice it and it irritates me sometimes haha

 

grab some coilovers so you can stop worring about this......sale the tails that should be a start.....freddy told me to be nice and i'm trying....but if you look around you can find a decent set of coils for cheap, love to see that red whip lowered

 

My car use to sit the same way when i had stock suspension! But once i changed my shocks, springs, and put on a camber kit... problem solved!!! Ur shocks might not be blown but one might be more worn out than the other!
