Car height

[Z'sLS]

My car sits about 1/2 an inch higher in the front right vs the front left. You can def tell the difference does anyone know why this is?

Worn tires, worn springs, bent control arms, could be any number of things.

Try disconnecting your sway bar and see if that changes anything.

I have new tires and I got new sprint spring last year. But I will try doing that to the sway bar. Thanks

You got new springs? Who installed them?

 

[NYC LS8]

The springs probably aren't indexed left to right, meaning where the coil stops isn't the same on both sides. Mine sits lower on the front pass side as opposed to the front driver.

A garage around my house. How do I index them to be right do I have to take the spring out?

 

[97stscaddy]

You don't have to take them out but you would need to rent/buy a spring compressor. You can check this pretty easily. There is a groove in the seat where the spring sits, and the end of the spring coil should be bumped right up to the edge of that groove.

Its easier to understand when you look at the pic. Look at the bottom of the spring.

IIRC there is something similar at the top as well. If the shop installed them incorrectly you should take it back and have them correct it. But be sure to check both sides first.

The left and right front springs are both touching that plastic piece on the bottom. The right side plastic piece is not exactly at the same spot as the left I dont think this matters just sayin

We may be missing the obvious. Z'sLS, Do you weigh over 600 lbs by any chance? If so, I think I know your problem.

lol that's fked

Could a worn shock on one side cause this

 

[TrickVert]

Shocks don't support the car, so no. As mentioned, spring clocking is important. Correct clocking means the "tail" of the spring is in the correct (and same) position on both sides. From your statement above, it sounds like this may not be the case?
