knightmaric Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hey all,I fitted a set of lowering springs to the rear of the car about 2 months ago but i've noticed that the driver's side sits at least an inch lower than the passenger side.Now the only thing I can see different in the two is that i've fitted the passenger side shock the other way around but it fits in fine, I don't see how this would make a difference though.Could someone highlight at all if possible?Here are 2 pictures showing the difference.This is the lower driver's side.This is the higher passenger's side.Any help in regards to this would be great thanks guys.

simpo Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Doesn't the top mount slant on a angle which would mean one side would sit higher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightmaric Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Just been to the car and taken 2 pictures.By the looks of it both of the top mounts seem to sit at the same angle in the car itself, so I am rather puzzled by it is lower on the one side.Driver's side rear.Passenger side rear.

Guest Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I once fitted a set of springs to a peugeot and had the same issue. It turned out I had been supplied with one -35mm spring and one -60mm spring!See if you can check the part number on both springs to see if they match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
