    Default Suspension help please?

    Hey guys
    when i put super low king springs, my car started to tilt on 1 side.
    so i figured il change the shocks and get a adjustable panhard rod, cause thats what people were telling me
    so i done all that and still the car tilts on 1 side, sometimes drivers side, sometimes the passengers side.
    what do i do? ive changed everything! (except the front shocks)

    It will randomly sit lower on one side when just sitting there?

    My first thought was the springs are around the wrong way, the fronts are marked left and right, but the rears doesn't matter. Shocks make no difference to ride height, neither does the panhard rod.

    I think it may be a spring isn't seated properly and is moving, that may cause random height changes.

    Another thought, one of the front struts may be starting to seize.

    hey
    thanks for the reply
    but i checked the springs and struts everything is fine.
    It tilits to 1 side when ever it wants. sometimes it will be driver side, sometimes passengers side.
    im not sure when im driving it, but when its parked its always lower on 1 side, even though the surface is flat

    Maybe it's just an optical illusion, can't see how a car can randomly change ride height if everything has been fitted correctly.
