ok i installed some hotchkis suspension parts on my car and now it sits crooked? about a 1 1/2'' higher on the pass side. i put springs, lca's and panhard bar on. both doughnut things are on top of the springs. where the lca's connect to the body, the bolts are still lose. ill be pulling everything back out anyways. the panhard bar is still lose. and there is no torque arm. what would make it sit so funny?

i first installed everything and tightened it all down, and it sat wierd? i pulled it all out to take the gas tank out and to clean the under side. then when i reinstalled it all, it still sits funny?

WTF!!!???
if anyone can help, thank you!

 

spring indexed wrong seems most likely.

 

whats that mean? LOL not sittin right?

Thanks

 

Theres a little notch for the end of the spring to sit in the spring cup. It keeps the spring flushly mounted. But those are on the front, and you did rear, so.... You might want to ckeck and see that nothing is binding, or that the spring is sitting right.

 

front and rear has a index spot for the end of the spring. front and rear upper has a spot in the isolator that should be lined up and the frt lower a arm has 2 holes that the end of the spring should be lined up on for index. this way the tension is in the same rate on both sides.

Rear (using a 4th gen isolator but you'll get the idea):

did you make sure your tire pressures were even and you are on level ground?
