Eibach springs problem

[forevrscornd1]

just installed my new springs and the height of the front passenger side is about a half an inch higher than the front driver side.. the car is tilted... do they need to be broken in? not sure why this is... can anyone help out??

You need to let them settle for a week or so

Higher in the front or rear?

You may have not re-installed one of the coil isolators (rubber ring grommet).

Front driver side.


Ya, never though of that

If it's incorrect on LEVEL ground by more than a few millimeters then it is probably not installed correctly.

Did you set the springs into the correct part of the strut bottom and tower? Did you align the isolaters as close to center as possible when re-installing the struts (the part that centers the strut into the frame)?

It could be manufacturer error but I would look for human error 1st.

i guess ill wait a little to see if they settle and if they dont by then ill take it apart again... thanks for the help, but hopefully they just settle into position

front passenger side

If the won't settle into place, try swapping the right & left. Driver's weight should level em.

I left out a plastic piece on top of one of the springs when I did mine. Resulted in a half-inch height difference. Not saying your shop is to blame, but then again...

So if you left out the plastic piece you can go a little lower in the front on both sides ? or is the plastic piece a must for proper alignment and wear issues just wondering
