Uneven ride height

[Thedhj]

Hi I posted on here awhile back about fitting 40mm lowering springs that didn't lower my car (315 4 cylinder)
So I have bought some 60mm cobra lowering Spring made for the 4 cylinder model. The front both sides are level (not as low as I'd hoped but still a lot better than before. The issue is the rear, drivers side is spot on, I can just get my finger between the top of the tyre and arch, but on passenger side I can put 3 fingers between the top of the tyre and arch, the shocks are only a few years old, I have taken it out and reassemble just to check I hadn't missed anything obvious. But still sits the same. Iv read that the drivers side will sit a touch lower on most cars but this is quite a bit more than I was hoping. Anyone had this issue and had results or any advice would be much appreciated
Thanks Dave

What about the rest of the bushes in the suspension system, and the top mounts... Are those fresh?

shure you parked the car on a level and flat floor?

if front left and right are the same height and rear heights left and right are different and the floor is flat, that means the car is twisted. That seems very unlikely to me.

Try measure on a flat floor somewhere else...

Yeah it's all pretty new, I have driven the car and I check the rear when I get out, and it's definitely not uneven ground, and the car is not twisted. The ride height was even in the original springs, I'll try swapping the right and left over just to see if it sits the same???

Is your mother in law still in the car?

Seriously: check the dampers, do they work just as well, if the bottom spring support can be adjusted in height check if they are at the same level. How are the top bearings? Perhaps one is shot? Then you should be able to see a difference inside the trunk (shock tops sticking out).

The rears are easy to swap so yes it can be worth the try to swap the springs over, perhaps Cobra springs aren't too good material, I never heard of them but that doesn't mean a thing.

Not a piece of a spring dat has come off?

Ok thanks I'll have a play at the weekend
