Just spent a while trying to find an answer on here and my eyes are going funny!!

 

So i will just ask the question, replaced my doughnuts.shockers and knucle joints the front drivers side is still low.I can get 3 fingers under all wheels except front drivers, this is only 2.

 

I had an issue when replacing and bought another one for this side and its still low. Is it a mini thing and it sags more because of one person most of the time, thinking it might level if i used a compensating washer??

 

Thanks

were the doughnuts new and where did you buy them? the driver side sags more because of the weight of the driver, but not overnight.

Is it that the wheelarch is low to the wheel, or the suspension is a bit saggy that side - ie, is the body a bit twisted or the suspension low? Replaced wing, perhaps? Measure the height of the suspension lower pin (the kinked one) from the (level) floor both sides & compare with the finger count.

Doughnuts were new from mini spares,the wheelarchs are the same as are wings these were all done 3 years ago. Got some spAre money and decided to replace the said bits because they were second-hand when I rebuilt the car 3 years ago.

I will try measuring later on and let you know

Thanks

Check that the high side is actually seated correctly.

Good point, nicklouse.

Are both top arms Dry types and not for a wet set up?

 

Just to put it out there, a broken tower on the subframe will also do this, but there are usually many other noticable effects.
