Hey everyone...so I rarely post on here but am always lurking and I need some help. Something is not right with my suspension and ride height, I have an 01 with KW v3's and the right rear seems to be way out of wack. I have the front shocks set at the same height (measuring on the shock body) and when I put the rears at the same height with each other the right side is way lower.

Now; a few years ago I slide off the road and over a curb which smashed my old set of wheels (I didnt know the road...stupid mistake) which may have caused a problem but I cant get anyone to verify it. I had some techs look it over at Honda which they couldnt see anything bent, I then took it to Russ's Alignment and he stated the rear subframe had just shifted so he put it back and aligned the car. I still think something is bent because of the above mentioned issue. I heard the control arms are easily bent, but which ones? Tie rod, lower or upper control arm? Should I buy some used pieces to see if that fixes it? I understand the every car is different but to make the cars ride height even I have the right rear shock at least one inch higher than the rest.

Hope you are able to understand all this gibberish and can help.

thanks,
Jonathan

 

Hard to diagnose it without seeing it. Based on the previous hard hit it sounds like something is bent. Did you buy the coil overs new? Your sure they are adjusted correctly?

Yes the coilovers were brand new so I know its not that. Yes I am sure they are adjusted correctly. I think something is bent as well but I just dont know where to begin or what part to buy, I dont want to spend all this money on new (to me) control arms if I dont have too.

 

I kind of had the same issue (spun out on a canyon road) but I couldnt find out until I started pulling parts apart. It ended up being my lower control arms. Now it runs smooth and better! Hope you find out the issue!
