Whats up with these numbers?

[Brandon83]

I was looking at my car and it looked loke one side sat higher than the other, so I measured it. I have 2454517s and i took the measurements from the top of the rim (not the tire) to the bottom of the fender and this is what I got.... RR 5.75in LR 6.75in RF 6.25in, and LF 6.50in. Does this sound right? Ive got a whole extra inch on the LR from the RR , and a 1/4 inch from the LF to the RF! Could the be a spring issue?

if I understand your post your saying that the passenger side sat higher than the drivers? If so its porbably cause you are the only one that rides in your car(most of the time) and the drivers side is settled. That happened to my rodeo.

Accually no its the oppisite. b/c my DR sits at 6.75 and my PR sits at 5.75 so the drivers side sits higher.

a lot of F-bodies are like that....I saw a post about that a while ago....mine actually sits a tiny bit crooked but not near that bad....

[AlienInv8r]

Were you on a level surface? if the road has a slight slope to it, that could affect the heights also. I know mine looks a tad crooked also on my street due to the slant.

most f-bodies sit like that. mine's lowered and still sits lower on the passenger side than the driver side. i've even gone as far as clamping 4 coils (2 sets of 2) on the driver side spring and it still sat uneven. i took out the clamps, but i just wanted to see if it would fix it. i think once you sit in the car it sits a little more level.

Check the rubber cups that sit on to of the springs in the rear. One of mine had fallen halfway out and cause it to sit funny.

Mine was like that also....I put coilovers in the front and purposely set the passenger side to sit lower than the drivers so that the car is perfectly level when I get in.

I'll have to look at that. Im sure my car was sitting on a flat surface, but oh well its not all that noticeable.

Actually, the panhard is the fault of this. That's why the aftermarket ones are adjustable so you can change the length. By changing the length of the panhard bar, the car will sit differently.

Changes side to side, not up and down. And only affects the rear wheels/body relationship.

With these numbers like this am I losing any handling?

Well I would think that once you set in it it would even out. Have someone sit in the car and measure again to see.

If the panhard is binding, it will change the height of the vehicle.

Ok so I didnt have an extra body to use so i put 150lbs on the drivers seat, this is what I got PR-5.75 DR-6.50 PF-6.25 DF-6.50 as opposed to...shown above.
