hi guys & gals can anyone enlighten me as to why my 7g is about 10cm higher on the right side than the left?

I am a bit confused as the sus has not been touched

Sagged Springs, leaking shocks, knackered bushes or something's been previously dismantled and not put back right? :inquisiti

nah I have checked everything and just cant think of why unless one of the springs are a bit weak but then the one side looks like it is on stilts

has one side been jacked up, then lowered down again?

I have found that if I let the shocks fully extend, then lower the car back on them, they dont settle to the usual ride hight for a bit... usually settles after I drive somewhere.

Just noticed that you've got a 7G VR-4... It's not one of the ones with electronically adjustable suspension is it? (There'll be a black electronic box on each strut top if there is)

If it does have ECS, then the fault may be here? :inquisiti

It may be a FACU (fat ass compensation unit) So if you have a fat ass it is even when you are driving
















If you didn't notice I am being a smart ass

I have only noticed it in the last couple of weeks just thought that it could be me looking at it wrong but measured it and no it is higher on the drivers side. Yes it does have the ecs system and that don't work have a flashing tour light on the dash but that is because one of the units are fe**d and more ideas peeps?

Well, if the ECS system is going haywire, then there you go, surely? if one of the units is knackered, then I imaging the systems trying to compensate?

well looking at the controllers they don't seem to be doing anything at all just sitting there

like an old dog to tired to get out of bed.

I am going to try and alter the sus manualy for the time being tho.
