Well, I didn't know if this should go in here or the suspension section, but I will start here. I took measurements of the Accord today in preperation for future lowing of the car. Anyway, found something weird on the car: It seems the left (driver's) side of the car sits about 1/2" lower than the right (passenger) side of the car. I wondering if this could be part of why the car pulls a little bit to the left, even after a recent alignment, with just me in it, but drives pretty straight with 2 people in the car. And there is no weird tire wear and all four tires are at the same pressure. And measurements were taken in the garage which is very flat and level.
Anyway, any thoughts? The car's suspension, at least the springs and struts, are original. The car is a 1992 Accord EX Coupe with 254,000 miles. And most of those miles were put on with just the driver in the car. Just wondering if that is why it is sagging a little bit on that side.
Here are what I got for measurements from the ground for the bottom of the wheel well lip:
Left Front: 26 2/8"
Right Front: 26 7/8"
Left Rear: 26 2/8"
Right Rear: 26 6/8"
And then the measurements from the top of the tire to the bottom of the wheel well lip:
Left Front: 4"
Right Front: 4 1/8"
Left Rear: 3 1/2"
Right Rear: 4"
Any thoughts?
