Had the dealership put in a new axle under warranty the other day, and now the car is higher on the side the axle was put it. What could they have done wrong?? any thoughts...

 

Maybe the spring isn't seated properly, or they tightened the lower control arm attaching bolts on that side with the axle drooped instead of at ride height. That puts a torque in the bushing and it acts like an additional spring. Take it back.

My $.02

 

or should i just have TSP fix it and add lowering springs and bilstein shocks??

 

the spring probably wasnt seated proporly

 

thanks for the replies, a friend and i are getting under there 2morrow and gonna get this thing back to even...

 

How'd you make out?

 

just as clueless as b4.....everything is the same on both sides as far as looks.....my friend thought maybe the left out something while putting it back together...no such luck

i am clueless...and i am beginning to think either it was this way b4 the axle swap, and i never noticed it....doubt that.....or maybe a spring is giving out. BMR springs go in asap!!!

 

Are both springs sitting in the perches the same way? The open end at the bottom of the coil should face to the front of the car.

 

i didnt check that...how much difference in height could that cause...its about 3/4"

 

You did loosen then retighten the bolts thru the control arm bushings while the car was at ride height, right? If not, you'll not find the "preloaded" bushing, which is still my best candidate.

 

havent tried that either.
