#24534, "Weird Suspension Problem, need help ASAP!! Call me if you can help!!"




          

My dad and I are working on the suspension to my car, we installed adjustable coilovers. When we lowered the car the back right side sagged down lower than the back left. I adjusted the right side up almost an inch and the back right side STILL sags an inch lower than the back left. We decided to swap coilovers left and right. Lowered the car back down again and the back right side STILL sags an inch lower than the back left. WTF!!!!!

Nothing is wrong with the strut or the spring, we swapped them, same results. If you guys know of anything we could have adjusted with the wishbone suspension or the "washer" mod for the camber on the rear, please call me with suggestions!!

I need serious help!!

Here is my number if you have any really good ideas. 3 0 7 2 5 8 8 4 8 9

Thanks guys!!

I'll be back on here later to check too if you have any posts.

Did you release the e-brake after lowering the car from jack stands?
I'm not sure how the e-brake system works on a awd car. Btw adjust the coilovers accordingly. If the right is lower raise it up a tad.

My tein's are not set on the same ride height for all four corners.

You're supposed to tighten all the suspension with full load on the suspension arms. If your hubs are just hanging full-extended all the way down while the body is jacked in the air, it won't go back together right. Figure out a way to safely put the car's weight back on the suspension, and redo each bolt.

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.
