Ride Height issue

[Captain GJ]

I've had my Road Magnet springs on the car for over a year now. No issues at all. Last friday I had 2 people in my car, both sitting on the passenger side, one in front the other in back. The ride only lasted 15 mins each way. The guy up front weights about 265 lbs. the guy in back probably 200-230 lbs. Anyway, today I notice that the right side of the car in the rear is sitting lower than the left. I can fit my fingers between the fender and top of tire on the driver side and I cant do it on the passenger side. Could this have been caused by having all that weight on the passenger side of the vehicle? Could it be my shocks going out? Could it be the colder weather? Thanks for any advice.

You need skinnier friends.

thats no good.. the first thing i would do is place your jack underneath the spring perch on one side at a time, and jack the car up a foot- a foot and a half and then do the same to the other side, and listen for any noises, or anything to click. honestly i dont know what else, after that i'd just take the rear suspension apart to check the springs out.

Problem may be solved. Went and measured and the difference in the rear on both sides and it is only 1 cm. I went and moved the car to see if it made a difference and it did. I can now fit my fingers in between tire/wheel well but it is a bit tighter than the driver's side. My tire pressure light came on so I'm going to check the tire pressure tonight and make sure I am at 32 on the rear.

checking the height when parked on a hill will do that occasionally.

more often than not!

what i used to do when i had 3 people in my car was to ask the person in the back to sit in the middle to even it out......just a thought when you have your fat friends in there again
