Does it mean I have a twisted frame? My car always end up sitting on just 3 jack stands and hovers about an in above the rear driver's jack.

 

could it be that your driveway or whatever your car is on is not leveled?

 

mine did the same thing once it leveled out my doors wouldn't shut til i put it on the ground. My crx had a bunch of rust so it may have been warped.

 

Could be just that one jackstand, too. It might be shorter than the others. Differences in manufacturing. Cheaper stands tend to do that. Could be the car, too. You never know.

 

I had that once but on a different car. My jackstands had 4 positions i could put them on to rise or lower. I always had to put the front ones on the 3rd hole, and the back ones on the 4th hole.

Maybe you floor is uneven to ,that was the case in my garage. try jacking the car up on bloth sides in the front, put the jacks under it and then move towards the back.

 

ha i have that problem too unless i jack up from the tow hook in the rear then some where sturdy up front

 

How is your tire wear? You can always take it to alignment shop and have it checked out. Are all the Jacks at the same height?
Good luck.

 

My 91 hatch was extremely rusty. I don't know if that had anything to do with it but. when I jacked it up front for back, the doors would not shut easy. I almost had to lift the doors to shut them.

 

What does tire wear have to do with jacking the car up and putting it up on possibly uneven jack stands?

 

^^^ If the frames bent, the tires well most likely wear uneven!^^^

 

Stupid.

It's normal for the doors to not be able to shut properly, not just because your car is rusty.

Have you measured the distance from floor to car? If it's even at the front, and uneven at each rear corner then your chassis may be twisted. If it's lower at the (for example) left rear, and higher on the right front, then your floor is unlevel.

 

Stupid^^^

 

hey dont digitally bash on eachother.

1: your drive way is uneven
2: your jackstands are uneven
3: your mom is uneven
4: go to an alignment shop and get an alignment done, they can most probably tell you if your frame is bent by the amount of adjustment your car has to go through. for example your car has too much negative camber and your car is stock height. Your car still drives to the left even after your car was aligned properly, your car dogtails nastily. its possible to have slightly bent frame due to old age. but if your car hasnt gotten into an accident then most likely your "" is uneven

dont worry if your car cant stand on all three jackstands on the same level. just lift one stand to the next notch.

 

LOL at Number 3^^^

 

Great comeback n00b.

 

this just happened to me today but i already knew my driveway wasn't level

 

ladies!

 

this thread makes me lol. i understand the idea behind getting an alignment. what i can't understand is how this discussuion turned into a debate of stupid ****. lol. i'm gonna have to go with the ground may be uneven where you are placing the jacks.

 

you dont have an ef anymore.

 

nope, sure don't.

 

Now, what the f*ck did I do to you for you to go there?

 

Speak for yourself.

 

lmao. this is for sure going to get locked.
