One side of my car is higher than the other!
I have a '97 Impreza L
I don't know what caused this or when it happened. But looking from the back of the car, the left rear sits lower than the right rear? I looked at the springs at both sides and they seem ok. The struts seem ok as well but I measure the right and there is about a half in difference. Also visually the tire seems to lean frorm the top inward (negative camber). What the heck is going on?

My car does the SAME thing, and I have the Prodrive P1 suspension. I posted a similar reply and most said "it's just the way Subarus are". Of course mine is BARELY noticable, so if you're is REALLY bad you may have a bad strut or spring.

Man that sucks if thats the case! I'll take a trip to japan and beat some A$$. Anyhow, no I think its more serious. Because when I take a right 90 degree turn at like 30mph the inner fender rubs on the left side. That shouldn't happen?! I got an RS suspension in my garage that I will put one, but meanwhile I need to figure out why this is so.

This has been discused many times. They pretty much all do that. Take some measurements with someone sitting in the drivers seat.

Ive searched and can't find anything. By the way, I think I have a more serious problem, my fender should not rub when I have like 3 160 lb people in my car! there must be a solution? DO the rs struts do this as well?

I had that problem in my old RX-7. I was told it has something to do with the differential, and drivetrain

Mine does too - I have to watch my rear tire pressures - below about 36psi it'll rub the wheel well under hard cornering. Ah, well... Such is Mango.
