Anyone else had this problem?

My driver's side rear wheel is about half an inch lower than the passenger side rear wheel. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?

Thanks!

might be your springs and bushings, try swapping the springs to see if the lean swaps as well.

You mean the fender, right? Were you parked on level ground?

i suppose you could say the fender. Basically the distance from the tire to the fender. I was parked on level ground.

Well the tire only can go lower if it is flat or in a hole

I'd park some where else and measure again. Stock springs? Could be that the spring is not seated in its base correctly.

I have the same issue. Probably a bit more pronounced. I ignored it cause I dont know what to do about it and it's gonna cost money.

I actually have this problem and I noticed after I lowered it a bit. When I had my coupe 19" wheels, one the right side it never rubbed but I noticed that it would on the left (driver's) side. When I got the alignment done 1 month after the drop, the tech said he noticed the car wasn't even left to right. I was resting on the lift so the wheels, suspension or tires wasn't the issue, the frame body was literally sitting lower on one side on the frame itself. He asked me if I had been in an accident and I said nothing that would warp the frame, certainly not on one side. A manufacturing mistake perhaps? Not like its covered under warranty now. Heh.

^So you dont know what the issue was? Did the alignment fix it? I noticed mine rubbing on one side only, and sometimes I think I spot a little lean.
