Hi Delia,

Spring-rubber-wise, it's the top ones that are of different thicknesses, but I imagine you know that.

Of course, it could be the opposite problem, i.e., that the LR is sagging. This would most likely be caused by a bent or failing trailing arm. Or it could just be poor quality control on the Bilsteins.

Hope you're doing well.

Regards,

Hello,

I've noticed that my RR can look a bit high when my gas tank is empty!

Also (and this is more serious) if your shock towers are getting soft due to rust you can start to have a lopsided stance before a failure (colapse) of the spring perches.

If the LF spring is collapsed it can cause the same issue (maybe a previous owner was heavy).

I think the best way to address this is to get out the trusty tape measure and start looking for differences from side to side.

My guess is the rubber spring mounts are outta whack.

I didn't do the work myself (or any of the other mechanical work performed at the time), so I'd be hard pressed to know what the specifics are...

...I'm geting too old to be crawling about under my cars. There are lifts for that reason...they are often found at auto repair facilities I'm told...

Sure as heck isn't rust.

The future will see new bushings and new rubber bits on the rear fersure. Maybe new springs. I've got a set of swaybars waiting...

Thanks, everyone.

Delia
