right rear sitting low!

Hey guys, just bought 4 rims with wheels. They are the 17x9 and 17x11 zr1's. On my right rear, I am rubbing the wheel well on bumps! It is visibly 1-2" lower on that side too..Would you guess a shock or a spring?

I would say the shock may be going out.

Get an adjustable panhard rod and center the rear to the body. Still might have to use a BFH.

do shocks affect ride height?

It was designed that way from the factory to offset the driver's weight.

Ya, and back pressure makes torque. Thats why not all of them and definately the new ones didn't sit lower on the right. Mine never did until about a year ago. Try again. Some just do, and some don't.

Shocks do not effect ride height, unless they're too short or too long. This is a thread more suited to the suspension section anyway.
