uneven stance

[Tzar177]

well i finially got around to installing my new lowering springs. My right rear sits higher than the rear left. It did this with my old springs, so i think the springs are outta the question as far as the problem. So what/why would this be? Anything i should check out? The front two are fine....

 

[njaremka]

how high? is the ground level? did you take measurements, or are you 'guessing' based on looks? (your eyes can decieve you)

 

[aMaff]

blown strut maybe?

 

[Tzar177]

here are some pics. first one is rear left, then rear right. yes im on ground level. the springs were the same size before installing

What springs and struts are you running?

I have seen the same thing with my car:
Tokico Illuminas
Sprint Springs

Never really could figure out what the problem was

My fix for it was to buy Ksports.... now its sits even all over

Subbin, How is the ride on the Megan Racing springs? Do you like them?

bent sway bar?

Not that i know of....i can check. I could just disconnect it from the strut....see if it evens out the stance?

I've only had em on the car for a few days now. The spring rate is high...and i can definately tell a difference over my previous progress springs. Much firmer. Im happy with them at the moment. We'll see as i start to drive more

My car is uneven the same way, but ion think as much. Maybe we are fat...

 

[mazpro]

mine is definitely not like that. it could be blown shock or wrong spring installed? maybe the lower one is for the front of the car or something...

 

[red95_240sx]

thought it wud go away when i got new struts...think its the trailing arm.

 

[red95_240sx]

Id really like to know what the problem could be. I just peeked at mines this morning. ewww

 

[FunkyBuddha]

same problem when i had H&R springs and Illumina rear struts. It was blown/leaking struts.

I switched to Ion springs and HP struts and they are even all around

 

[red95_240sx]

Its not my struts or springs. they have all been switched out.

Blown struts can cause this, I think. I just installed my springs onto my old shocks and my stance is quite uneven. I am positive I have blown struts, I just wanted to experiment with things.

Front springs are some times shorter then rear springs. It could be possible you have a front spring in the back? I know it happened to me but I never moved the car until I figured out what was wrong. Lack of instructions FTW

I was also using coil overs which had smaller sleeves for the front than the rear, so I was working with multiple combinations, luckily I got the illuminas placed right.

No dude, I could totally tell front/back. They looked a lot like stock ones. I actually think my stance was uneven with stock springs, I just didn't notice it as much.
