Im not sure which board this goes on, its about the apperance of the car, but has to do with the body. Move if ud like.

My car is sitting lower of the driver side front, is this because the battery is over there? Anyone elses car lean?

 

battery wouldn't weigh the front end down... it only weighs like 30 lbs doesn't it

 

well, i think it might some since the right siad has nothing over there.

 

i heard that if the car has been a daily driver for most of its time with no passenger the driver side will be lower...but i could be wrong

 

hmmm fat girlfriend?


maybe you have a bad shock on that side or a weak spring. i would not expect the battery to cause any suspension movement.

 

mine does the same, but from the rear the drivers side is higher than the passengers side! WTF

 

Suspension.

 

My car does the same for some years..... I'm used to it now!!
It seems I'm realy the only one who'll notice it!

 

i dunno, but i see alot of 3rd gens that do it, most people are in denieal that there car leans.

 

springs that aren't indexed?

 

heres some pics of it

 

do u have the same size tires on both sides? cause it looks like ur differnce is in tire hieght

 

I noticed mine was lower on the passenger side in the rear, and I replaced the sway bar bushings and it fixed it.

 

same here lower on ds side front

just took measurements to see what ride height is

 

Agreed.

I'd be willing to bet its the two different tires you have on the front. After all you are only looking at a 1/2 inch difference. They might be the same P-Metric size, but unless they came from the same mold, and were installed at the same time, on the same car, in the same position (front/rear), the chances of them having the same dia. is pretty slim.

 

looking even closer now at his tires. if ou look at where the tread begins. he has two differnet treads. so therefor 2 differnets tires. that is most likly the cause of his lean

 

both are the same size tires with the same amount of tread on them

 

To me it looks like your bumper sits lower on the driver side. Like someone sat on it pulled the mounting bracket out of place.

 

To me the tire thread looks different.......

 

are they just the same size, or are they the same size, brand, model? all tire manufacturers use different tolerances. some are wider, some are shorter, etc than a different brand of the same size. for example, summit lists a 235/60R15 Goodyear Eagle GT II as 26 inches tall and 9 inches tread width, while a BFG Radial T/A is 26.1 inches tall and 7.6 inches tread width. it matters more than most people think

 

same brand differant model.

 

Got the same thing, just thought it was from just one person in the driver seat. Why my dad had it, he just drove it with no one in the passenger seat. I hope some suspension upgrades fix that for me next year. Or maybe its just cause of my garage? Maybe one shoe is higher then the other? who knows. Ill have to measure it.

 

My right rear sits 1 1/2" Lower than the left rear of the car. YES it LEANS..

I thought it was just the old suspension, so i replaced the shocks / struts / springs all at once.

It STILL LEANS!

My Rear end also stick out further towards the right than the left. ALmost like the rear is off-set.

Im going to invest in some new bushings all over the place and see what happens.

 

Kingtal0n - replace ur panhard bar with a new aftermarket one and it should center the rear end where its suposed to be, the panhard bar is probably bent.


on topic- my car leans after new struts and shocks and new coil springs all around. i think it might have to do with my fatass being in it but then again i havent replaced the rear sway bar bushings yet so that maybe why the back looks like its leanin and not the front.
