Help! my car seems to be leaned
hi people.... just wondering my car is under reconstruction, and today i noticed it's leaning on the back towards the passenger side, don't know why this happens, could any body help me out with some ideas?.... my guesses so far are:
SPRINGS
SHOCKS

running unknown springs and kyb excel -g shocks, is there any chance they mistakenly mounted a front shock on the rear or somethin like that?... here some pics (not on the ground thought... but from the bottom




see how the right tire is lower?... HELP PLEASE!!!

I would check your setup. Because I have never seen that happen. Something isn't right for sure. I take out your strut and spring on that side and see what you can find.

It's on a lift. You sure the lift points are level? Looks to me like the lift is causing this problem. How does it look on the ground?

on the ground that side is the lowest.....

apparently the suspension's got "more travel" on that side... on the lift it goes down more but on the ground it goes up more, leaving the car tipped on that side as to make it the lowest one, don't know if i made my self clear

gonna have to tear it all apart tomorrow afternoon, and hopefuly find the cause!!!

i agree with Ben, in the air it looks like the lift. snap some pics on the floor and from under if you can to see if there is any visible reason its leaning.

well i got it in the lift on the first place cos the back passenger side seemed to be to low in comparisson to the others, so when we lifted it the same "wheel" dropped as seen in the pic.... on the ground it is to up in the car on the lift its too low on the car

The lift definitely doesn't help. The second pic shows how the right side of the lift isn't as high as the left when compared to the mortar lines in the far wall.
