Car sitting lower on one side.

[MR 325]

The rear of my car is sitting 1/2 inch lower on one side, can anyone explain this or tell me what may cause this?

[e304lyfe]

.........bad springs?

[Rob]

tire pressure? different tire sizes?

[MR 325]

Well, tires are the same, pressure is fine...

Could a spring more or less "go bad"? I have H&R Sports

[Rob]

premature spring pad wear on one side?

[e304lyfe]

bent trailing arm?

[MR 325]

Well, I will inspect it a bit more now that the car is disabled anyway. I'll check it out today or tomorrow hopefully

wherever your car is might be tilted

[Rob]

maybe whoever did the suspension left out a spring pad

[nando]

spring pads aren't 1/2" thick, rob.

my vote is a bent trailing arm.

[E30-323ti]

Mine use to sit uneven with my old (I mean "old") springs & trailing arms.
Just put in new trailing arms & springs (5lug swap) and it still sits uneven, not 1/2" like yours, maybe ~5mm max, but enough to piss me off!!

bent trailing arm?

I would guess the same thing and subframe. Even though the rear of your car cannot be aligned, take it to an alignment shop and have them check everything.

[Rob]

maybe they accidently left both pads out of one side and doubled them up on the other...

My car does the same tine. about 1/2 inch lower on the passenger side.

Maybe you need to do a CSL treatment...to yourself
