Right side sits lower (update)

[thedetailman]

Hello, I have a bit of an issue dealing with the right side of my car squatting QUITE A BIT lower than the left (driver) side.
----
Also the right wheel sits a good inch deep in the wheel well. like.. If i look at the car from behind the whole rear end looks like its off center. The (drivers) side tire sits out farther while the (passenger) side sits in farther.
----
Ive Replaced-----
SPRINGS (both sides)
RUBBER INSULATORS (both sides)
SHOCKS (both sides)
-----
HELLPP!! please. It bothers me and Being a guy who is picky..it almost pisses me off every time i look at it.

For your car sitting lower on the passenger side... http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/12979407-post3.html

As for the rear being off-center, what type of springs did you install? Installing lowering springs will lower the car's center of gravity and cause the rear to become off center. There are no downsides to this other than looking weird. To fix this, you'll need to get an adjustable panhard bar to recenter the rear.

Are you talking about the rear being off-center or the passenger side sitting lower? Each car is going to be different, depending on previous accidents, maintenance and upgrades, or wear. I have 1.25" lowering springs and don't have a panhard bar, yet the rear on mine doesn't look like it's off center. Yet a buddy of mine put the same springs on his car and his rear was obviously off-center and required a panhard bar to straighten it out.

The difference in height between driver and passenger sides is also dependent on the car. Some show more of a difference than others, either from different suspension parts or other factors. My car only has a very slight difference and is only noticeable on certain grades or inclines of pavement.

Re: Right side sits lower (update)

yeah...pretty sure all my springs are seated the same way and the insulators are replaced...im just so EFFING confused as to why the hell the rear end sits like it does. THE cars didnt sit like that NEW so why does it do it now.

Since I have messed with mine , mine is even in the rear and in the front, I measure the fenders to the ground to make sure they are even.

Re: Right side sits lower (update)

lmao, his QA1 shocks! btw, springs can sag over time. Especially the right side since even with a LSD that's the side that grips first usually and gets a bit more action than the left side. The sag from old springs is also going to cause your rear end to shift as it has. If I were you, I would get some new springs and an adjustable panhard bar.

Re: Right side sits lower (update)

I think the 1LE springs helped alot, plus the QA-1's LOL

Re: Right side sits lower (update)

I mean in the rear, my driver side and passenger side are even at the same height.

I have blistein shocks and springs off a SS camaro. I think they have maybe 50k miles on them?

The car sits different because you've added different springs than what you previously had. With a little more info, ie. what type of springs you installed, we could help you a little more. I've already given one solid solution to centering the rear.

Ive installed BRAND NEW (K SPORT) springs made for a ls1 car.
I have brand new shocks. and i have brand new COIL spring insulators.
