    Why is one Side Higher Than the Other.

    This was a problem from before I ihad the car, and I have sort of lived with it. but yesterday I busted out the measuring Straight bar, and found out that the right side of the car is 1 inch higher than the left in the rear, and about .3 inches in the front.

    I redid the entire front suspension, and the rears now have bilsteins, and turner jstock springs....

    what gives?

          I have a Stock sway bar in the rear, What should I look for ? Its always tilted a wee bit no matter how level the ground is.

          I do however have a rear strut brace.

                    a thump heard when there is a load transfer is generally the subframe bushings. when you shift, load is taken off the rear. you can also just hit the gas and then get off the gas repeatedly. thumps should be heard then too.

                      subframe bushings x344938202

                      check and make sure they havent backed out of the subframe and the collars are in place correctly.

                      Mine was about 2inches lower on the drivers side because of this.

                        Fuck subframe bushings, I've had mine sitting in my room for a year and haven't tackled the damn job yet.
