OK here's the deal

I lowered my car a couple days ago, and everything looked great.
Then, my friend told me, that I need to take my car up on a hoist and loosen the lower control arm bolts, apply some pressure on the car, and tighten them again.
He said to do this because my new springs are shorter than the original ones, the lower control arm will be acting like a spring becaus of some bushing in it bla bla bla. Anyway, he did that and he did it so that he did each wheel seperately since his hoist is not the one you can drive onto, but those arms that you extend to each of the 4 corners of the car.
So, now depending on what surface I park, I noticed the car sits lower on one side than the other, in both rear and front.....

Did anyone had anything similar?

it's lowered on TEIN S tech springs

 

Your friend is an idiot. Loosen and tighten the control arms? WTF?

Anyway, you don't need to do that. The "spring" effect that the arms have are due to the sway bars that are on the car. Your car will sit differently on different surfaces because of the simple fact that your aftermarket springs are of a higher spring rate. Park on a slant, and you'll see the uneven-ness a lot more. It happens.

As long as you installed the springs correctly, that's all you need to do.

 

do u think loosening and tightning these bolts may have caused this..guess not

hmm ok thanks for your info

i hope to get some more responses

I highly doubt it. The control arm movement is not restricted at all by how "tight" the bolts are holding it. There are bushings placed in certain locations that allow the control arm to move. No matter how tight/loose the bolts are, the arm will still move the same amount.

Be more specific when you say, "now depending on what surface I park, I noticed the car sits lower on one side than the other, in both rear and front....."

 

ya, i know there is a bushing inside. so they said this bushing if not loosened and tightened again will wear off afte time because of the spring effect, also the ride migh feel stiffer or something

well when I was parked in my driveway, rear right was lower than rear left, and the opposite was happening at the front...
then I drove m car into the garage, and I measured 60 cm in the front from floor to fender and 61 on rear right and 60 cm on rear left,, but I think it is this way because my rear left tire is almost worn off and rear right is like brand new

 

drive it hard.let the springs settle..

 

anyone else

 

did you install everything correctly?..if yes then your good to go..suspensions are not that complicated dood
