aggressive driver side lean PIC included. what could be wrong?

buddyantunez1 · September 14th, 2008, 01:14 PM

a friend noticed it when driving behind me a few months ago and its starting to bother me. whenever im driving the car, it has a noticeable lean to the driver side. the front shocks were replaced not too long ago but ive never touched the rears. its had a prokit on it for about 5 years now.

the only other problem i have that is related is the car wheel hops really bad when spinning. it sounds like a bad shock/strut or wore out bushings but im no expert in suspension. what do you guys think? i would like to get it fixed pretty quick.

im not obese either so dont crack any jokes plz, im 6'4'' and 245lbs.

here a couple pics for reference:
its sitting on a grade but you can see the car is sitting pretty much level. look at the gap difference on both sides of the front bumper. these pics are a few months old by now.

My car sits just a tad lower on my drivers side as well and from what ive been told its normal, but yours looks a little more than mine. Your drivers side rear almost looks tucked up into the wheel well. If your getting wheel hop the only thing that comes to my mind would be that your quadshocks might need to be replaced bc i know they help alot with wheel hop.

I would look into the possiblity that the spring are not set properly in the passenger side perch. Your car is quite low for Sport Kit, sure it is not a Sportline kit? This may account for wheel hop as well as worn bushings.

Maybe its that the tire is bowed in,Or that the suspension is worn out on that side?

haha brought back from the dead. i actually found out that the front sway bar end link was sheared off and i have new ones sitting in my room along with a whole bunch of other suspension parts waiting to go on. we also thing that the driver side spring is worn and sagging a little.

link to new parts thread.
