One side sagging

[leeman]

My is on an angle at the REARS.

Leaning to the right. I have checked suspension and all is good. So shock/springs are not the problem. Yet car is still lower on the right hand side.

What else should I check? Control arms?

How did you check the spring? Take them both out and measure the free length?

[leeman]

lined them up. Put them on my cousins car and is even.

So i put another pair of rear springs into my car and same thing. Uneven sides. So from this I believe it is not a spring issue and has to be something else wrong.

[OMG.JAI xD]

Tried replacing your shock with your cousins shock?

A leaking shock will cause minor sagging.

One of your tyres flat?.........................LOL!

Sorry couldn't resist!

[leeman]

switched shocks for another pair already.

And no tyres aren't flat.

Im thinking lower bushings at the moment. Have to jack up my rear end,

A leaking shock will cause minor sagging.

If one damper has lost it's gas pressurisation then there might be a few millimetres of unequal ride height. This is with 'low pressure' dampers (which is nearly all of the dampers that are likely to be used), 'high pressure' might be a bit more (Bilstein, and maybe a very few other very specialised single tube racing dampers).

It's not the dampers that support the car's weight, it's the springs. Sagging will most usually be caused by a sagged spring, but slight slag might also be caused by one of the coilover attachment bushes being shot.

Another cause might be one of the dampers being seized or partially seized ('sticktion'), preventing one side of the car from sitting at the correct ride height.

Don't discount the possibility of the problem being caused at the front, i.e. if say the left front is sagged then the right rear will be high etc. (if one corner is sitting at a lower ride height, then ipso facto the diagonally opposite corner must be high, unless the chassis is hugely flexible...).

when you say uneven how uneven is it?
happening to be checking it on an uneven road?

[outatime]

how uneven is it? check the bushings on the front control and lower control arms. it may be worn out.

Just throwing a question out there but do springs take a bit of time to settle down?

[vinnY]

new springs? generally yes

Bout an 3/4 of an inch. Noticeable from behind at from a few ft away and noticable when you stick fingers in.

Bushing check, but need time and possibly money.

Good quality springs shouldn't lose length to any noticable degree for a very long time. How much does a new Honda's ride height drop in the first few months?

Sorry for bring up a old thread but did you happen to solve this probelm, i got the same thing happening in my ek

[leeman]

Ive swapped from compressed springs to a set of skunk2s. car is overall more balanced but one side is still a tad higher than the other. I have looked at other eks and some have the same problem. so maybe thats jus how it is.
