Hopefully someone can help me out on this one.. I have a 98 SE 5spd.. the car is about half an inch lower on the driver side of the car.. no one notices but it drives me crazy!! The car rides fine and nothing seems to be wrong.. Has anyone had this problem or know what it might be???

Blown strut???? check the side that is leaning and see if the strut is "hairy" around the silver part. if it is then you need to replace it.

Struts have nothing to do with ride height.

Are you parked on an even surface? Springs are the only thing that effect ride height. Are you on stock springs or after market? Has any suspension work been done on your car? If so, was it done correctly? Check all strut mounts to see if there worn out. Also strut mount bushings may be worn out. The bushing is a thick 1/4 inch rubber isolator that the spring sits on. If thats missing or worn out, you may ride lower on that side, only by 1/4 inch or so. You should also be experiencing lots of noise if thats the case.

 

yeah - dun do it in your car!!! - i got a group deal goin on with lowering springs =]

 

I always park on an even surface.. There is no noise at all and the ride is fine.. its 1/2 inch lower on the front driver side and a little less than 1/2 inch on the rear driver side.

 

Some things to check: A mis-alignment of the front wheels can lead to a slight leaning, as can a blown strut mount (top of the front or rear struts).

 

Maybe that 400 pound dead chick in your trunk has rolled to the drivers side?

i think that your springs are sagging and it is time for them to be replaced
