I have been noticing the rear left sitting lower than rear right for some time now, not much but definitely noticeable. So I raised the car on stands all 4 corners, perfectly flat ground even used a level to make sure the bubble is at dead center all 4 corners. Removed the wheels off, started measuring multiple times every corner, fender to hub and rotor. Front left and right match as expected. Rear left hub assembly measures .25inch higher then rear right, that means with wheels on, rear left is .25inch lower than right. Pulled rear shocks out, measured them, they are perfectly even. Now remeasured(In different ways I can imagine) the fender to hub/rotor without shocks and still the left hangs .25 inch higher then right. So spring rate is a non issue.

Did I hit something hard and bend a suspension component? Any guesses what could it be? I can fix this problem by getting coilovers and adjusting rear left coilovers .25 inch longer than rear right and make the ride height even all 4 corners but I would like to really address the root of this issue. Thanks in advance.

Edit: also the alignment is clean, no pulling and no uneven tire wear. "Scratchingmyhead.gif"
