Is it possible for blown out bushings and/or the sway bar become bent and cause the car to lean on the left side?

 

mine leans on the left side too and i cant figure out why

 

Wish someone had an answer

 

Has your car ever been in an accident? hit a deer? any evidence up front of being hacked back together so to speak?

Ive been really searching through the front of my car and come to realize that the one of the previous owners must have replaced the radiator suport, not strait, causing a very weird stance.

 

Nope not at all, it was hit in the rear but the odd thing is. It's an ex so when I bought it, I didn't think much of it and it has drums in the back, not discs. The trailing arms have numbers from like a salvage yard

 

That is strange, but weird things happen in accidents, it could have been caused by getting hit in the rear twisting the whole car, dapending on how it all happened.

Is their any aftermarket suspension parts up front?

 

When I bought the car it had stock suspension on it, I put my old skunk2 springs and shocks on the car hoping to fix this but such luck. Isn't there a machine that can straighten out a unibody car for things like this?

 

Yes there is, its a very expensive process, and not all body shops have the capability so you'd have to call around to find a shop that does it. I worked at a shop back in washington that did that, it only got used once in the whole year that i worked there, but is a very cool process.

 

Then I need to look into this, the lean is starting to annoy me lol

 

How bad is it? mine is off about an inch from left side to right side.

 

OMG!! Yes! Worn bushings can cause this. At this age your ca probably does lean to one side. If you have adjustable coilovers then adjust them so the lean isn't there. If not then learn to live with it. I doubt HIGHLY your frame is bent.

BTW EX have drums in the rear. Don't know where you thought it was discs.

 

all old cars lean on the drivers side.

its normal.

nothing to freak out about.

someone asks the same thing at least once a month here.

 

It has new bushings, thanks anyways

 

That's about like mine

 

Make up your mind. The bushings are blown or are they new? And if all you put on were lowering springs then that could ALSO make your car lean which is why I do not recommend lowering springs. Posts like yours reinforce this fact time and time again.

 

And did you clock the bushings when you installed the springs?

 

Bushings are new as of 2 days ago and yea they're clocked. I used these same springs and shocks ony ek hatch and no lean

 

Then there's nothing to be done.
