riding on SprintEXtreme springs 3.25 drop Bilstien shox up front stock in the back..

and for the 2nd time my front driver side wheel gap is 3 finger? wtf.. normally it's 1 finger or a 1/2 finger... but no it's 3 finger what would cause this!?

last time it happen w/ other bilstein shox after a week or so of driving, so i put on a blown oem one till i got the bils replaced.. but no it happened again!!

a year ago i hit curb doing 45mph coming on to an on ramp on the high way and bent the **** out of my LCA but i replaced, could this be the probleM? maybe i over looked a bent suspension part thatis' ******* up my shox!?

thing is if i ride w/ the oem blown shock i never get this problem only when i am ridin on the bils..

 

Just lowered Blondeaccord's car with Sprint Extremes and Tokico Blue's.

She has even gap all the way around and it looks damn good.

If you've had damage to that corner of the car before, I would give everything a thorough inspection. That most definately is affecting your setup. If you do find a defect with the Bilsteins, you should be able to return them.

Check the accord picture thread its in there

 

Sounds like the spring is rotating adn getting out of the seat which might raise it up, but i don't know if that is the case here. Just a suggestion.

it sounds a lil extreme to be that sort of problem... that would only cause it to lift half an inch at most... if even close to that. maybe the struts have some sort of problem where they get stuck when compressing and just dont compress all the way that it should with the weight of the vehicle on it... maybe you just ride around with fat bitches too often and when they get outta ur car it raises itself up haha nah just kidding... who knows man, maybe you should find a different strut to gfo with....see what happens

 

I only really said that because he said he had replaced the front struts and i assumed he installed them correctly but maybe if they were used and they had been in a wreck and had a bent shaft then they might stick that bad. I don't know i am rambling.

suspension problems are always the best because there are so many damn components that could be causing the problem. its like a freaking circus under there. the strut sticking could be it. its a logical explanation really. who knows tho. if i were you, i would take everything apart and look everything over and double check you have everything in order and everything is in good condition. only thing i can think of. good luck

the mind boggles... i am taking it to a suspension tech in a couple of hours to tell me if i have any bent suspension parts.. because i just dont get what's going on .. i replaced the front driver side bilstien shock 2wice and same thing happened.. If i take the shock out though and try to compress it seems to go down all the way and it would normally.. i dont think it's the shock though i think there is something that is stopping my suspension from moving and higher ( by that i mean UCA going higher up into the wheel, making the car lower to the ground ) ... what if i bet a tierod or something or shifted the center crossmember a lil bit? i would assume that even the smallest bit would mess up my whole shizle blah!! grr.. soo frustrating..

i will keep u guys posted tomorrow see what this guy says'


funny thing is i put a blown oem shock and and it sits normal again, dont know wtf is up w/ the bils going out on me ONLY on the driver side after a couple of weeks.. after it raises itself, there is no suspension travel what so ever driver side is hard as a brick

 

patastinky, did u ever go to EBAUMSWORLD? that pix is hilarious, im sorry, this is soo of the sub. and oh yeah i would assume sumthing is bent in ur set up.good luck.relax ull fig it out.

spanxxx... anyways took ot the place and they said that it's only off 1 degree on my driver side, but that everything looks good.. i asked them if they check the knukle and if it looks best etc.. or the center crossmember.. but they said they really only go bay camber and how bad it is... so i am gonna try to replace everything from UCA down to LCA knuckle and all.. and if that dont help then imma have to get parts car can swap out Center Crossmembers.. woo wooo what fun

thanx everyone for there helps and opinion's on what the problem might be
