so i have a 2003 g35 sedan,
what is the possible reason why my driver side (front&rear) is about half inch+ lower than my passenger side?
I had drop springs, just changed it out last night cause i thought it would be the shocks that were dying..so i have tein susp. now everything was set evenly but my driver side is still lower.
I know i could jus end up adjusting the susp, to make it all even but, i want to know why its lower on the driver side.

thanks in advance guys!

 

a few reasons.

1) camber on right side may be higher
2) uneven drop on springs is common
3) most of the weight tends to be towards the driver side
4) 75% of all turns are right, thus placing more stress overall on the driver side of the suspension

I have the same issue I adjusted my camber to be a touch less on the driver side to even out height. Worked well with no handling issues. Coils are your best bet though.

 

i think it's like that for mine too

could be compression rod and shocks

 

It's like that with my Z-suspension too.

 

i have tein coilovers

 

.......then adjust your ride height.......

 

^^^ This.

 

All the steering wheel components are on that side as well.

 

naz- if you read better "I know i could jus end up adjusting the susp, to make it all even but, i want to know why its lower on the driver side."
is what i said.

 

sorry was in a bit of a rush...but still i would just adjust it to even....or just drop it to the max.....

honestly i wouldent worry about it and just even it out, had the same issue with springs in the rear so i cut the mount a few mm and its fine now, i just accept things as they are and take it from there

 

half an inch isn't much.

just adjust it and be on your way. everyone listed possible reasons already. Lastly it just could be your tire or the tire pressure. The way you look at a car from one angle can make the car look higher or lower then another angle.

 

Mine isnt the same on both sides either...has your car been in an accident?

 

Cause I am big and fat and prefer to drive alone?

Why is your driver side lower?

also, it is amazing how many times you are on uneven ground and do not realize it. Could be a factor.

 

Noticed the uneveness when I put my tein springs on. Springs settled, only time I see that its uneven is when the ground I park on is not level. I was concerned at first, but everything was fine, more annoying than anything.
