where are you measuring it from?

kandyflip445 · 09-11-2004, 03:25 AM

Did you bounce all the corners a couple times so they would even out?

MoK · 09-13-2004, 12:51 AM

I measured the tread. And it measured exactly the same. What's wrong?

RedlineRacer · 09-13-2004, 08:36 AM

Drive around and then see if they level out again.

MoK · 09-16-2004, 10:39 PM

dued it worked. why is it like that? is my springs getting weak? thanks

kandyflip445 · 09-17-2004, 05:55 AM

No, they're normal. You should bounce the car/drive it a little hard around the corners to get it to even out after doing work with it, either up with the tires hanging, or with a new suspension. It's cause of the dampers.

yeah, when your done installing new suspension components you should always roll your car a bit to listen for noises. normally when i do that i push down on all four corners and then let it settle for a min.

hmmm........but there not new

if it was up in the air for any significant amount of time or on a really uneven surface, the damper probably expanded on one side.
