car leaning on one side.....WTF??

Post by **amolao** » Tue Jul 13, 2004 1:16 pm

By looking at the car from the rear very carefully, the car leans on the driver side. I noticed it in the past, I thought it was the struts or springs, I just replaced springs and struts and still leaning. I will try to explain it this way. The camber of the rear tires is the same, (car is lower but not much, Eibach sportlines) The fender lips are closer to the tire on the drivers side. Probably half an inch more than the passenger side. So if is not the springs or struts, can the problem be in control arms,etc???.... The car has NEVER been into an accident of any kind.....The frame is perfectly straight. Another thing is that doesnt seem to affect handling or tire wearing....But still noticeable by looking at the car.....

thanks

subframe bushings are herniated a little more on that side i suppose from the drivers weight over the years. theres a clip on kit to squeeze em back into shape. i forget where the site is though. i think its PDM racing

Gumby, thats very good info, I didnt noticed the leaning until many years later since I have my car, I really want to make it right,(Im very picky and perfectionist when it comes to my ride...)

Question:Have you done this fix yourself or seem somebody fixing this by replacing the bushings, etc....??? Im not questioning you, I only want to make sure this is going to take care of it....:icesangel

Thanks

The subframe spacers will fix it also- but be forewarned they will make your ride much harsher.

Ok, are you reffering to the metal spacers??? how about getting rubber ones, how will those work compare to the metal spacers??

How many are needed?? 2 or 4??

Best ones to buy??? Im looking for good and cheap.....

the metal ones. - T3 sells a decent set for around $75.00 - do a search on google for techno toys tuning
