I have a problem with the suspension on my 2wd saph sagging on the drivers side approximately 10-15mm more than the drivers side.
When i bought the car it was totally std so i put the uneven height down to knackered shocks, i put some 2nd hand koni shocks and springs along with poly top mounts yet i still have the same problem, i've asked a few people but nobody can shed any light on the problem, just wondering if anybody had encountered a similar problem??

How old were the 2nd hand springs?

Roll the car back and forward a few times you may find it raises a little, and may be cuased by the weight of just having the driver in it, when getting out.

fraid that makes no diiference, with nobody in the car it still sags. What confuses me is that its done the same thing with 2 sets of springs.

Might be something to do with your trailing arm bushes, or one of the arms its self, problem is you cant tell by just looking at the arms and say that ones different unless its completely obvious


The beams are not as strong as you think either it could be that



Does your wheels sit any different? look over your wheel from above, side on and see if its pointing out the way, as in not square with the car


Cant really think of anything else tbo

theres barely any height difference at the rear of the car, it all seems to be concentrated at the drivers front, gettin the alignment done tomorrow so 'll see if it makes any difference

maybe something is bent in the suspension components????

Oh right mate i thought you were talking about the rear of the car

Are you sure the car is down on one side????

Where are you taking the measurement from,it could be its had a pattern part wing on it if your using the gap between top of the wheel and wing lip to measure?????
