What would cause the rear of my car to lean to one side? I noticed it after a minor accident I jumped up on the curb and hit a gaurdrail scuffing the wheels and now the car seems to lean a little when looking at the back of the car. Any ideas?

 

That doesn't sound like a minor accident...

 

You better look into any further damage that might have happened

 

Can we have the whole story and pics.

 

odds are a bent oem camber arm......

Im betting you have an oem camber arm and bent it. I have seen it happen to a few guys. the rear oem one.

I would honestly take it to a local shop and get it up on a lift and visually inspect every component that got hit........youll most likely find something tweaked..

have you checked to see if you have a flat tire?

 

dammit..that was it!...how could I miss that? lol


Would a bent camber arm cause my car to be all over the track? I brought it to the drag strip and the back end felt VERY loose..didn't notice it on the road though which was weird...

 

ya, it can cause funny stuff, cause a bent camber arm can throw a lot off, not jsut camber....at the track yes, your loading everything up and more power will go to one side or the other due to a bent camber arm........check visually, see whats up down there and get back to us.

You're not illegally transporting fat leprechauns are you? I have found they create severe leans in my Z.

 

I don't import them...but I did find a few hanging out around the garage when I was working on it a few months back. Ill pull all the interior pieces out and check to see if I find any.

 

You have to keep your eye out for them.

They're always after me lucky charms.

 

I would get it fixed before taking your car back to the strip. : P

 

The car is all apart right now getting a few other things done..it wont be back on the road until the suspension is perfect though. Im thinking about just getting the whole whiteline bushing kit and being done with it.

 

I took a look under there tonight and nothing looked bent. None of the bushings looked bad either. The only thing I DID notice was the vertical bolts holding the diff in. They looked bent and one of the washers had a gap in it(the driver side)... I dont think that would make it lean....how would I know if something was bent?

 

??????

 

sorry man everyone will just be guessing.. take it to a shop that knows their **** and have them give their two cents. most will throw it on a lift and glance at it for free.

 

a fat chick for a passenger?

 

Yes. A fat chick on the passenger side will make the driver side lower.

 

get on a low fat diet, driver?


jk hope you get things fixed!
