car sagging rear driver side

91cobra5.0 · December 13th, 2008, 10:46 AM

Came back from school in mosouri and my car was damn near bottomed out on the right driver side.

So I jacked the car up and lowered it back down and it kind of fixed the problem. The tire would clear the body for about 1 inch and over night it droped about half an inch

So is it the quad shock or the strut?

could be a shock problem, broken coil spring, control arm or control arm bolt/mounting, TQ boxx issue or other, best-bet is to get it up on jacks and crawl around underneath and have a look....

Confused, front or back?
Either way, I'd say neither. The shock has very little effect on the static height and the quad shock has no effect. Maybe your springs are getting a little too old or the one on the sagging side has broke or your control arm/mounting?

what do the spring rubber isolators look like

I'll have to get it up in the air and look at it, its in the rear driver side. Maybe it is just the spring, the oddest part is that it did it whilen sittng for 2 weeks

my car had that problem for a long time even after i changed the shocks and springs. it got fixed after i put the new lower control arms with the new bushings in. so maybe you have worn out bushings..
