i swapped the suspension in on my maxima and all corners are good except the front passenger side it sits a little lower than the driver side it barely has any clearance and it rubs like a **** when i hit bump and dips, i checked to see if the nut was on to tight but nothing?? what could it be a bad strut??
its sitting on staggs sruts and maxspeed springs

 

i have the same problem, but my passenger side sits about 1/2 inch higher than the driver side. i have maxspeed as well.

 

mines just the oppsite of yours, what did u do to fix it? im thinking of running a smaller tire i currently have 245/45/18 on there. thinking of going 225/40/18 to see if that will fix it

 

i did not fix it, been driving like that for 20,000miles.

 

Damn dude, I got worried at first thinking it was the driver one, Didn't want you thinking I sold you something faulty. Only thing I can think of would be struts.. They sat flush on my car..

 

no its not the cut one its the other one weird huh??

 

I wanna say struts, did you check to see if it's blown? Mine sat fine. I've heard some people claim new struts lowered their car 1/2" or so which is kinda weird but idk... It can't be THAT much off? 1/4"? 1/2"??

 

Struts have nothing to do with how high the car sits.

Check to see if the spring is aligned properly on the spring perch.

DO NOT run two different size tires on the same "axle" (different driver side than passenger side).

 

i have the same issue in the rear, pass. side being lower than driver rear.
on illuminas and vogtland spring...another member said it had something to do with rear "beam"
try re-seating your springs.

 

are the springs aligned correctly on the perches?

 

yea my car is the same way sittin about a 1/2 inch higher on the driver side.

 

yea its sitting fine, as for the tires im not going to run 2 different size tires jusr movw the front to the back

 

That's the wrong answer.

Damper gas pressure will effect ride height, where less pressure will reduced ride height. Also, if the spring perch was attached (welded) in the wrong position, manufacturing defect, the ride height will be effected.

 

i see so most likely its a bad strut then??

 

problem solved, i moved the 225/40/18 to the front and moved the 245/45/18 to the rear. im just going to get another set of 225/40/18 or 235/40/18

 

its gotten worse the passenger side is really low now, and the tire is tucked it asll good if im in the car by myself but if i have passengers it rubs like crazy

passenger side

driver side

 

Maybe swap the front springs? Body weight might even out the car when you're driving it at least. Just a thought.

 

someone else chime in.
in the rears the problem has something to do with the rear beam not being centered after spring swap.
iv been told this, but not sure who re-centers the beam.

 

keep fat chicks out of your car mayn and that suspension won't get saggy

time to upgrade struts

 

I am wondering if it has to do with the rear lateral link bushing because the bushing on mine is cracked just like a worn motor mount bushing.

 

wat would this have to do with the front though??

 

that has to be one of the most dangerous things Ive ever heard! i would cut springs before that

 

wat u mean??? hows this dangerous??

 

its going to pull like hell and your going to destroy front end parts, most lowering springs have coils that are not used, cut as many as you need to level it out.
