    Those aren't going to account for the uneven height.

    I'm betting that something is bent due to a previous accident. Have you verified that the dampers are still in good working order?

    What good will changing sway bar links do?
    The bushing on my rear right and front left look pretty worn. Those are the only suspension parts I see that look noticeably worn.

    Ok so upon inspection, the only thing I could see is that the stabilizer bushing for the front left looks more worn than the other one...so maybe that's why its sagging a little more......Could that be? :/

    It shouldn't be that difficult of a fix. Just take a weekend off and really examine the car by jacking it up and making sure everything is where it needs to be. Who knows it may just be the actual strut completely gone. Does your car bounce everywhere you go? Try taking some pictures of it on its side from afar.

    I guess its time for some C/o's. But i
    Thanks, I'm sure it can't be too difficult but I just got to find what's wrong. I'll jack it up and have a thorough check.
    Car isn't bouncy at all.

    Gee I'm not sure if it was wrecked, the body panels line up pretty well it looks like. I hope it isn't because the body is twisted, because this uneven ride height is going to bother me shitless.

    I hope not.
    I tried to move the spring with my hand..nothing went into place, it actually seemed seated well

    You can jack the car up in the air, reach your arm to the spring, and make sure the end of the spring is in the correct place on both the top mount and the seat.

    well yeah... but you can try giving it a visual look. Have the steering wheel and wheels straighten out and in the strut assembly and spring should be nearly identical looking

    would I have to rip out the entire strut to redo that?

    started a topic Uneven ride height

    Uneven ride height

    My car sits on somewhat of a slant

    now, I didn't install the Eibach springs that it has now. The previous owner did.
    My ride height is uneven. While it doesn't bother me driving, it does bother me looking at it. What could be it?

    BTW I was looking at my rear axle assembly, and I saw that the sway bar stabilizer link bushing is all sorts of fucked up. I know it has no correlation to the ride height, but what would changing it do?
Working...
