not sitting level with new springs?!?
put my hotchkis spring in last week. since then, the whole left side has settled unequally to the right. it is lower by about 3/8" than the other side and seems like its getting worse, WTF? im pretty sure i got everything seated and lined up properly, so i cant tell what if the problem is just with the springs or what. i guess ill let it go for a couple of weeks and see if they even out, if not i guess i could trim the bump stops to try an even it up?
Have you had any passengers in the car? It might just be settling on the driver's side because of your added weight. Also, some cars just sit unevenly from left to right, even in stock form
yeah, i have pretty much just been the only one in the car. but im getting ready to do a 600 mile road trip with the old man here today so maybe that will help it out.
Please don't be offended, but are the springs in the right way up? I only ask because I did this, but realised before the car hit the ground again! Make sure both the Hotckis part numbers are the right way up when you look at them, it's easily done!!!
is this true on ALL springs? I'm asking you this because I'm installing mine this weekend. BTW i got s tech's too...
