my car be leaning

RhadCundell · January 1st, 2008, 05:36 PM

any one know why my car is leaning?
if you look at it from the back the car is higher on the drivers side then it is on the passenger side

xSxTxAxNxGx · January 1st, 2008, 05:39 PM

not a clue, bad shocks, bad leaf springs..low tires on the passenger side..maybe some fat guy sat in the passenger side too long

RhadCundell · January 1st, 2008, 05:41 PM

I was gonna say get rid of the fat #$%^@. But it can only be the spring in the back. its the only piece that controls ride height.

i feel dumb cuz thats obvious..
but what causes that??
just being to old
how i drive?

whitemustang02 · January 1st, 2008, 05:50 PM

dose it only look that way from the back not the front.

we don't have lef spring we just have reguler springs
leaf springs

regulers (what we have)

RhadCundell · January 1st, 2008, 05:51 PM

ive never noticed it from the front
the back is major

worn out suspension parts is your culprit ... or a flat tire

im sorry i tried i new they were on trucks just taking a wild stab to see if mustangs had them too...actually keeping you on your toes to see if you know what your talking about

RhadCundell · January 1st, 2008, 05:56 PM

no not a flat
i just measured it cuz i was curious.
and driver side comes in at a little over 16 even from rear bumper
passenger side comes in at 14..
not 100% accurate but there was a difference fer sure

Onemanzu · January 1st, 2008, 05:57 PM

your alignment could be out... hit any curbs?

RhadCundell · January 1st, 2008, 06:06 PM

acutally i did today
i was drifting a turn (never done it around here..only in the open parking lot)
i went to far and hopped the curb and went into the yard
was stuck for about 5 minutes..
but ive noticed this like two weeks ago

I'm guessing you ripped some torque boxes.

Onemanzu · January 1st, 2008, 06:29 PM

your rear end can be out of alignment... you can bend the 4 link mounts and such...

I know its not the same as the front end but you can bend control arms and shit...

... I have don't it before... bent a control arm on my old RX7

didn't snap the axle though thanks god

RhadCundell · January 1st, 2008, 06:36 PM

or your rear-end falls out and you can say your car is on a diet.

Onemanzu · January 1st, 2008, 06:48 PM

find a mom and pop shop see if they can get it on a lift and look the rear end over and see whats bent

RhadCundell · January 1st, 2008, 06:49 PM
