I have a problem I just replaced my springs in my car because the driver side of the car was sagging 1 inch lower than the passenger side. When I bought it to the mechanic I was told that the springs over time will sag. I called Honda and spoke to two of there mechanics and they said the same thing the other guy said I was also told that there is a service bulletin about driver side sag for US Hondas.

Now the problem, the new springs are in and the car is still sagging when I bought the car I asked for a carfax from the dealer and never got it when I looked it up myself I found the car was in a accident. I really don

 

sounds like its time for new shocks to make sure that is not the problem. other than that it could be the frame or the A-arms or the axel....alot of things can affect the stance


If you found out the car was in an accidient, why did you buy it?? was it a good price? Not flamming you, but if i found out my car had the damage it had before i bought it, I never would have.

How extensive was the accident? did the car fax tell you what kind of damge was repaired on the car?

 

It was my bad choice I bought the car then ran the carfax after the fact I would have never would bought the car if I knew it was in a accident and like I said before I asked for a carfax when I was there and the dealer said he would get it. Negotiations started again and I lost track the price was fair a little less than book. I looked up to see if anyone else had this problem and came across a post explaining it could be the controller are how can I check that??

 

assuming you're talking about the control arm? if so, you need to be under the car and do a visual on the control arms and possibly take measurements with a tape measure.

simple question, did you check your tire pressures? is your alignment good? worn bushing could cause sagging, if your alignment is good, then your bushing should be good.

 

I am certain springs are not the problem. The chances of a spring sagging in a car that is just a few years old is unlikely.
Do not pass go do not scratch your head anymore, get the car to a VERY GOOD alignment shop, not just any

 

Thanks for the help guys Iv got a better idea on how to figure out the problem I will update you when I find the problem

 

Yeah, you need to get this up on a rack. You may want to consider a body shop that has a alingment rack and frame rack. Sounds like repairs were not done right.

If all else fails, call the State Attorney's consumer help line and they can direct you elsewhere.
