Mods listed as below, and I noticed last night that my rear driver's corner is sitting about half an inch lower than the rear passenger side. Could it be a blown shock?? It's only been about 5000 miles since the drop.

 

Is that corner bouncing all over the place? If you quickly push down on the corner does it bounce many times?
Any noise coming from that corner?
What does the shock look like? Is there oil dripping from it?

 

I might take the wheel off and thoroughly search for any oil leaks, I guess.

It's not bouncy, really. I took a really hard right turn earlier today, and although I was sliding everywhere (9 degrees out, no traction), I didn't feel that corner bouncing much. But that might be because I was sliding.

I'm gonna go for a drive and see if it bounces now. Thanks for the tip.

 

actually, all cl-s sit like that. if you measured before the drop it would have been tha same way.

 

Seriously?

 

yes. mine was the same way. the owner of the shop who installed my H&R race springs a couple years back had a tl-s, same thing w/ it. i noticed the difference and asked him about it. he said all the cl's and tl's he had ever worked on were the same. it's not a coincidence, it's how the unibody is put together.

 

That's quite difficult for me to believe.

You mean to tell me that a TL-S (same thing) with an H&R Sport drop sits lower on one side than the other??

It used to be nearly even, and I know for sure because I check the width of the gaps often. And I only just found out that the left side rear is sitting lower than the other.

So if all CL/TL's sit like that, then what's the cause? Does anyone know? Is it just horrible weight distribution or what??

 

in the rear, yes. just like you said, drivers side sit's ~ 1/2" lower.

 

Gotcha. Thanks a lot for the info. I feel like the 3.2L block has been lifted off my chest.
