whole car is tilted a little to the left.

[JDMSupra]

i seem to have a problem with my car. the whole car seems to lean to the left a little bit, probably a little more in the back. what could the problem be? I just bought the car and the guy had just got the rear struts replaced. I am thinking it may be a weak rear spring but i am not really sure. help?:aigo:

When you put the spring on the strut there is an exact spot it goes into where the perch is indented. It's easy to accidently not slide it all the way down and reassemble it like that and the car will be slightly crooked.

If its not that then only the little things are left.

- Check to make sure all the tires are the same size around the car, especially the sidwall profile.

- Check the air pressure in you tires.

Its very unlikely that your frame will be twisted, so I would check your suspesion components first, and if not check the above.

saging spring for the win bob

It could be sagging springs, maybe the previus owner was on the large side and wore out the left side springs. Or it could be your rear subframe bushings are collapsed. Thats what the problem was on my car, so I just built some solid aluminum spacer inserts. now its mounted solid, no more wheel hop. Check my BIC vendor section for more info on the spacer inserts.

My old car did, but in the front.

It was from a bent frame.

If the above advice doesn't work then examine the frame rails, measure there distance apart.
