Driver rear lower after settling, heaviest corner?
Hey fellas, I'm running ST coilovers and after a couple weeks of driving, the fronts seems to settle pretty evenly between the driver and passenger side, within 1/4" of each other.
The rear is the different story, the driver-side rear is a full 1" lower than the passenger side with the perches on the coilovers set exactly the same, whenever I lift up the car from the rear diff it's always tilted to the left which leads me to believe the driver-side rear is much heavier hence the height difference? Anybody notice this with any other suspension? In order for me to even it out, I have to raise the driverside rear perch about 1" higher than the passenger side, which definitely would affect the spring preload am I right? |

Has the car been corner balanced? Do you have adjustable endlinks?
I would highly recommend both. |

You are over thinking it, and it isn't the first time.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115625 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115075 What does the rear diff have to do with anything? It doesn't. 1 inch on the suspension does not equal 1 inch at the wheel. You were fine a month ago. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...4&postcount=22 Stop over thinking it. Pull the suspension, measure, compare, reinstall. And swap the corners. |
