Dumb question...why is the left side of my car lower than the right in the back???

Mikeye · 04-15-2008, 03:26 AM

Hi there,

I just noticed that the fender gap in the rear left side (driver side) is about 2 fingers while on the right side (where the gas lid is) is much higher, about 4 finger gap.

It's probably just my car...oh btw this is on stock suspension.

It could have cracked a coil off the spring back there.

How big of a boy are you? The front driver side could be getting more sag since more weight is up there....or something broke

Kawikid20o2 · 04-16-2008, 01:38 AM

how much do you weigh?

Mikeye · 04-16-2008, 01:50 AM

haha...i dont weigh that much

Could the gas tank be weighing it down?

ttatsumi · 04-16-2008, 09:13 AM

Maybe blown struts? just a suggestion...

uneven ground...?

That's my guess too. It can have a huge impact.

The ground is even...so possibly blown struts i guess then.

Would the gas tank weigh down one side over time?

DOOKWAGON · 04-16-2008, 04:02 PM

shouldn't, the only thing that's on one side and not the other is the filler neck, the gas tank is centered.

Time for an upgraded suspension methinks!

bagelicious · 04-17-2008, 02:28 PM

Mine does the same thing between front and back, its just worn springs

How many miles you got on them?

Mikeye · 04-17-2008, 02:58 PM

I have about roughly 100,000 miles on the car.

I actually notice a lot of GT sedans that have one side lower than the other side so I thought it was a common occurrence.
