So I lowered my car on tien springs about 4 months ago.
I kept them on the struts that were on the car, i don't think they were still from factory. I changed out my endlinks last weekend with the twos rus cause my stock ones were work out. I just kept them the same length as teh stock ones. No yesturday i noticed that in the rear, the driver side is a bit lower than the passenger side.(about a finger width or so lower.) Now i don't know if this problem was before teh endlinks or after, i didn't really notice. But anyways what could have caused this? Did I do something wrong with the endlinks, or are my struts on their way out? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Well i took it for a quick ride, and it apperas to be the same height on both sides for now lol.
the wheel gap was the same, now Im just hoping it will stay that way. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |
