5100 Help - Not level from Passenger to Driver

Sorry if i missed it but did you line up coils side by side ?? (nevermind the whole color thing went thru that on 1st gen)

 

Well, since you swapped sides and the passenger side is still high, it's something else. Not sure what, but if both coilovers give you one inch high on the passenger side, it's not the coils.

Driver side rear spring severely sagged maybe?

 

Springs were the same height. Looked to be the same. I had the struts on one way and then took them out and switched sides and still have an inch difference.

 

I replaced the rear springs a few weeks ago and the only other thing I have changed is the front struts and springs.

 

Well, I'm stumped without looking things over. I think you can rule out the coilovers since you swapped sides with the same results. Must be something else within the suspension setup.

 

How old are the struts?

 

When I installed the rear springs I left everything loose until I had the tires on the ground and torqued everything down. Could something be bound up now that they have settled a little?

 

New 5100's... Used Sport Springs. Couldn't really tell you how used either.

 

Is your rear sitting level now?

 

Another thing is I did not reinstall the sway bar.

 

Rear is setting the same on both sides Hub to Fender

 

Front D - 21.5
Front P - ~22.70
Rear D - 23.5
Rear P - 23.5

 

I wouldn't think the sway bar has that much affect, but who knows. It is part of the equation when you start looking at what changed.

 

Could be a couple weak windings in coil

 

Yea. I bought them used but don't know how used. The passenger side is high from what I see with other 1.75 lifts but I'd like to see some more numbers before I make that assessment.

 

Since you swapped sides with the same results, I don't think it's the coils. If one was bad or significantly different, you would have seen a different result.

 

Yea. I can't seem to figure out what else it could be. I didn't measure before I pulled the old off. I may put those back in and check the height then and that would tall me if it is in my strut assembly. It's just weird.

 

Exactly

 

Or put the sway bar back on and see if that changes things since that was on before you had this problem.
