hi all i fitted a set of h&r springs to my car and now the ride height is uneven,i have checked to make sure the springs are all the way there meant to be and this is the measurements i got from the top of wheel centre to the arch
drivers front 302mm passenger front 316mm
drivers rear 310mm passenger rear 301mm
surely the springs are odd sizes i cant imagine it being anything else,has anyone had the same problem
-
Normally the drivers side is slightly lower due to the engine and fuel tank, not that much though.
presuming it was defo on the fllat when measured!
-
yes was on the flat,its quite noticable on the front
-
Are the Struts properly located on the front? Can be quit difficult to locate the struts to the bottom of the hubs when installing. Worth checking this on the passenger front. Which H&R springs do you have, Will check the the height of mine when I get a chance.
-
the strut locates on the bolt though,the back is different aswell though,i've read on here someone who had faulty springs
-
i ve heard a few on other forums have faulty H&Rs but ive read more with brilliant reviews , get fitting checked first i say :happy2:
-
i've already checked everything,the springs locate on the dampers and are the right way up,the back ones look fine so cant really see what else it could be
