Car is a 1995 civic 2dr.
Front shocks off a 1995 civic (not blown, R/L combo)
Rear shocks off a 91 SiR (ok condition, R/L combo)

Everything is installed correctly, torqued correctly, and everything that is for the right is on the right, and left on the left.

My friends and I are baffled at WHY my car is leaning SO much?
For what it's worth, before I pulled my oem suspension off 2 years ago, the car didn't lean (or at least I didn't notice), and it has never been in an accident (frame is 100% straight).

ANY help asap will be much appreciated.

 

bump. please help

 

if you are right and have no accidents/damage/bent parts. Its possible that the spring is not correctly seated. still fairly unlikely but that looks unsafe as is...

 

We jacked the car back up to check everything and everything appears to be seated correctly. I'm seriously baffled.

Could it be the preload in the bushings on the control arms?

 

Thats still a bit of a long shot but I guess its possible? Can you try counting the coils on each spring?

 

Has to be something with shocks, springs, or bushings are seriously twisted. Maybe try swapping in some different shock and spring to see what happens

 

normal.

 

This could be a long shot, but could if have something to do with the sway bar being loose on one end and tight on the other?

 

i'll check all these out when i get a chance. it's not the bushings themselves (RTA has a spherical bearing, FLCA has sphericals in it right now. RLCA seems just fine).

Thanks for the help guys, i'll keep you posted.

 

My car is leaning on the rear driver side. I replaced the shocks, springs, LCA bushing. Added ITR bar, Beaks reinforcement kit and Beaks lower bar, extended top hats. I'm still puzzled. Coming down to the RTA bushings next. Hopefully that helps. They look pretty shot.

 

QFT.

The car leans, because the weight is not 50/50 left/right.

 

Please explain?

 

I dont know, that looks excessive. My car never has that much difference between sides regardless of the slope. This car one side is an inch the other is about 2-2.5 inches.

 

How the heck is that normal?

 

it's not. i've been around hondas for 9 years now. If it were normal, I wouldn't be asking any questions lol

woo~ woooo~~

 

Yes they are uneven stock but unless they are off wildly or my car is just an exception, this is too much. My car is no more than 1/4" difference on each side. You can hardly even tell. Springs and shocks.

 

because motor>transmission in weight. Look at the higher side, what sits on that side?

 

Yeah but look at his pics. One side looks like it has lowering springs and the other almost looks stock. Maybe y7 motors/trans dont have this problem or something.

 

true, but dont you think thats quite excessive?
