Rear End Sagging.... ?

For some reason my rear end of my car saggs more than my front, I have a box that holds two 12" subs in the trunk, but nothing spectacular just a regular box, plus my car is not lowered. Answers anybody?

push on the back corners of your car, if it bounces a lot you probably need new struts. when you push on the corners of your car it should stop bouncing almost immediatly.

your subs could be causing the sag though, maybe take them out and see?

good luck

Two boxes + gravity = a lil lower

The front fenders are cut larger then the rears to allow the front wheels to clear the fender edges when they are turned fully and your front suspension is fully compressed. Thats how the car is designed.

If you measure from the frame rail to the ground at the jack locations I'm sure you'll find your car sits pretty level.

Yeah, I noticed other Maxima's have a little sagging in the rear. I guess that is normal. Thanks for the info.
