Hello everybody,

Current setup 98 civic hatch, rev9 coilovers, skunk 2 upper adjustable, moog outter tie rods and moog lower ball joints on each side. Wheel bearings are also new within the past 2 years

I do have quite a bit of camber up front and I’m going to try flipped outer tie rods

Issue:1 When lowering the car the passenger side front will max out low to meet the driver side which has about a 1inch of threads left to lower

Issue:2 Didn’t think this was an issue as long as it’s aligned properly but my little 94 hp d series is torque steering so bad you’d think it had 500whp. Its torque steering to the maxed out side ( passenger side)

(Questions)
Can the unequal coilovers cause this pull?
Why are they drastically different ?
Can somebody please help before I scrap this car..


(Things Iv tried)
Adjusting spring according to weight
Multiple Aligments
Different wheel and tire setup
Swapped the front from left to right and re adjusted.

 

Cheap far east coilovers, your springs are likely vastly different rates from side to side and non-linear. Also I doubt the gas pressure is even in them, which will also lead to different amounts of sag from damper to damper.

Check for torn bushings too.

What do you mean by trying flipped tie rods? Like, mounting them to the bottom of the steering arm? Just don't.

 

Lower control arm bushings are good we checked play on the rack. The tie rod ends are flipped so when lowered the geometry is still correct. What do you recommend I do with the springs?

 

I second this. Measure from the top hats to where the spring sits, after setting preload. I'm banking on spring rates being different.

 

My Civic did that in the rear after replacing my leaking Koni yellows with new ones with my previously used Eibach springs and new OEM control arms. I am driving it as is with no issues. I probably will need to get an alignment eventually even though it is still driving straight after nearly 3k+ miles. Really not worrying about it though and after three autocrosses as is, it doesn't feel any different...
