Default uneven coilover causing pulling?

Hey can uneven coilovers, one coilover adjusted slightly higher than one side cause the car to pull- even if the alignment is good?

If the driver side is higher than the passenger side, will that cause pulling towards the drivers side?

Can installing a rear tie bar too tightly also cause pulling?

IS the ride height even? it is impossible to have all 4 pereches at the same height with a level ride height, that is what coilovers are for, you can even out the ride height.

Sounds like you either have bent parts or you need a alignment.

im having close to the same issue if you know anything, passenger coilover is maxed out low to meet the driver side which has about an inch of thread before it’s maxed low. Equal ride height like that but it’s pulling to the passenger side when accelerating

You need an alignment after changing ride heights.


Uneven ride heights is normal. That's why they're adjustable. It's more obvious when it's lower.
