Uneven ride height...

[vaughnababe]

Hi! Just acquired a used car a couple of months ago (my first). Ok naman xa then but recently I noticed prang tumabingi. Sabi sa shop my tagas shocks and malambot na spring so I had all 4 coil springs and rear shocks changed but still passenger side is about 2cm+ lower or closer to the ground. What could be wrong with it?

^^what car, some cars kasi really are not pantay (as experienced sa lancer).
you can use a rubber lifter too para magpantay ang stance.

Have you looked at the control arm bushings. Sometimes they wear out and can make thinks look and feel WAY off.

It's actually '97 lancer. Ah so ganun pla talaga pag lancer.. one suggested nga to add shims under the right springs e kso it would reduce naman working range of the springs so I thought something else must be wrong kung bago naman lahat ng springs ko. Sumasabit parin kasi ung likod.

Bushings are ok naman daw sabi dati ng mechanic...

lancer pala.... its a common condition with the pizzas, imho. just use a rubber lifter.

Kind of strange that it's the passenger side that's lower; usually it's the driver's side that's lower because that has the weight of the driver on it more often.

Should be okay, but if you're alarmed rubber or aluminum lifters would do the job. Better aluminum for me personally because there's no springing effect from the material, unlike rubber.

what if fuego car ko then hindi pantay ung likod, driver side. what po pwede gawin?

tnx

[vaughnababe]

thanks for all the responses..cge I'll try your suggestions. Nakkahiya nadin minsan pag may sasakay, I tell them that the heaviest should be seatd sa driver's side. Buti na lang nanay ko ung pinakamabigat.

San po ang may problema sa likod o sa harap. Ewan ko lang, pero paki-check po yung shock mounts baka worn-out o lomobo na yung mga rubbers components. mga isa o dalawang pulgada din ang subsob ng affected side.

problem ko rin to sa honda esi ko.. pero sakin naman sa driver side, rear tire yung mas mababa... kung icocompare sa right rear tire, 2 fingers lang clearance nung left tire from the fender, while yung right side nman 5 fingers ang clearance. nahihilo na ko sa iba ibang diagnosis ng mga mechanic.. first i tried to change the left rear spring kasi malambot na raw sabi nung isang mechanic. no effect.. then i changed both shocks sa likod, same - no improvement pa rin.. bumili ako nung rubber lifter para sana ma solve na yung problem, pero suggestion nung mechanic wag raw gumamit nun kasi magiging matagtag yung kotse..so di ko pinakabit... now im considering the idea of having it installed kasi hassle na nga tlga pag may nakasakay sa likod..pumapasok na yung gulong sa fender tapos pag nalubak ng konti, sumasayad na.. meron na ba nakapag try ng rubber lifter dito? ano difference after maikabit na?

dating lancers itlog at pizza ko ganyan din. yung 2 hiace namain ganyan din. mas mababa yung right side ng konti. pero vitara ko pantay.

My old blue Corolla GLi seems to suffer similar symptoms---one finger breadth lower front driver side. Already changed the paired front coil springs and shocks.

Both po. sa likod 1 finger diff ang clearance to fender then ung harap mga 2 fingers diff., both compared with left side. What about coilovers? I heard height is adjustable 0-4" to ur desired height. Sa mga bagong car models lang ba un o pde rin sa mga old models?

[spyghost]

where can you buy the alu lifters? all i see are rubber ones.

meron na ba nakapag try ng rubber lifter dito? ano difference after maikabit na?

ako nagpakabit ng rubber lifter sa cruven, civic ek ang kotse ko, ready na nga akong palitan ang spring at i restore ang shocks pero sabi nila ok pa kaya lifter na lang sa rear left. ok naman so far. walang pinakaiba sa ride performance. halos pumantay na yung tindig.

Pag hindi pantay ang paghigpit ng stabilizer link o hindi pantay ang thickness ng stabilizer link bushings, hindi talaga papantay ang left & right side. Mas gusto ko nga na mas mataas ang sa driver side kaysa passenger side kasi mahilig akong biglang liko sa kanan kaunti lang ang angat ng front right wheel pag ganong set up. I feel uncomfortable kung mas mataas ang passenger side kasi parang I feel na magroroll-over ang oto pagbiglang liko ko. I think denisign talaga na di sila pantay, na mas mataas ang driver side. Pantay siya kung isa ka lang nakasakay.
