Hello I was looking at my car tonight and I noticed the driver's side is lower than the pass side so I took a tape measure and it's about 1/2 inch lower..

Anyone have any ideas what would cause this?

 

you got a fat ****?

a) frame bent
b) parked on an incline
c) tires not inflated to uniform psi
d) suspension is uNF'd

 

hehe.."a fat ****". On my integra I was WAY lower on my drivers side, it was like that when I bought it, looked like I was lowered on that side. Think my springs just had some abnormal wear...bastards at Les Schwab trying telling me that I had "bad struts"..now that I'm not completely ignorant anymore, I know that struts dont determine ride height. Bastards.

 

check underneath your car.. i have seen rx7's where the weight of slouching down in the seat eventually pushes one of the mounts through the body of the car especially if its rusted .. look underneath youll probably see a hole

 

yeah look underneath and check if you see the panties... :P

 

Considering 90% of the time the car is driven there is only one occupant in the car, the driver's side suspension wears a bit more than the passenger side. Sagging springs, worn spring mounts, etc.

The "leaning" condition is nothing out of the ordinary. The 240sx guys have this problem too. It is normal. Happens due to age/wear among other things.

I agree w/ what dcfc3s said.

 

Makes perfect sense :-)

None of the other things made sense

Thank you, I worry about every little thing on my car :-)

 

makes complete sense to me because my mount is coming right throught the floor of my car and it sags the actual seat is physically lower than the others..

 

start dating fat chicks?

 

i'd take a lower drivers seat than start dating fat chicks (not that there's anything wrong with them, i'm sure they've got great personalities when they're not mad at the world for making them eat so much :P)

 

This has happened to my 86GXL

 

I have the same problem, if anyone knows by experience what the problem is let me know please.
Thanks

 

One other possibility - the front springs are not identical, left/right. The left side is both longer and thicker. So, unless your still running on original shocks, the springs could have been mixed up when they were changed.
