suspension problems?

thomasdale2144 · July 22nd, 2011, 11:00 AM

so my driver side has about 2 1/2 inches between the tire and the fender well, but the passanger has about 3 1/2 inches between the tire and fender well. any ideas?

ReverendDexter · July 22nd, 2011, 11:02 AM

Anything look wonky underneath? That kind of difference in ride height isn't going to be from worn parts, that's something tweaked or busted.

thomasdale2144 · July 22nd, 2011, 11:05 AM

shit, lol idk whats wrong it all looks fine underneath

ReverendDexter · July 22nd, 2011, 11:06 AM

And you know that you're parked level and don't have any stuff in your car?

thomasdale2144 · July 22nd, 2011, 11:12 AM

yup, its in my garage and idk maybe its like 2 1/2 and 3 in

ReverendDexter · July 22nd, 2011, 11:20 AM

How many miles on the car?

It's *possible* that a combination of worn shocks and bushings could do it. If you haven't replaced those parts, it's something you likely need to do anyway and may fix it.

thomasdale2144 · July 22nd, 2011, 11:25 AM

only 89,000 miles

ReverendDexter · July 22nd, 2011, 11:31 AM

And what all is done to the car?

thomasdale2144 · July 22nd, 2011, 11:39 AM

brand new wheels and tires 245/45-17 , CAI, Dual exhaust, tune

ReverendDexter · July 22nd, 2011, 11:47 AM

And you run a 13.91@95 with just CAI, exhaust, and a tune? Not trying to slight the sixxer, but that seems pretty quick for not making 200hp at the tires.

thomasdale2144 · July 22nd, 2011, 12:05 PM

had a cammed 3.8 running nitrous, no forged internal, detonated and cracked the block, put a remanufactured engine in

spaseghost · July 22nd, 2011, 04:12 PM

Sounds like the old Chevy lean. If its just primarily you in the car the driver side has more weight on it therefore putting more strain on that side. Causing the driver side to sit lower, pretty normal.

thomasdale2144 · July 22nd, 2011, 05:36 PM

so new spring would fix it proboably?

spaseghost · July 22nd, 2011, 10:04 PM

it will, but it probably will just happen again.

thomasdale2144 · July 23rd, 2011, 12:12 AM

not like right away though right?

spaseghost · July 23rd, 2011, 12:37 AM

no. itll take a couple of weeks. its just like when a fat guy says his car pulls left, be cause he is weighing down the left side. the only thing you can really do is equalize the weight on the other side. my car does the same thing because NOBODY but me drives it...

thomasdale2144 · July 23rd, 2011, 01:27 AM

same lol, the only person that rides with me is my like 90 lb girlfriend so that really wont matter ahah
