Angry Crooked behind!

No not mine...though I haven't looked! I just finished the a-arm replacement and front strut rebuilds (Koni) and rear shocks. I noticed that my passenger side in the rear is riding almost an inch higher than the drivers side. Now I 'think' I know what I did. I had the passenger side up on the jack for a couple days partially disassembled while waiting for my a-arms to come in from Vertex. Could that have caused it? I'm hoping a few days of driving will slowly bring it back??? Or will I have to do some adjusting to get it level again? I actually considered jacking up the drivers side overnight!!

Okay...I've done some scanning of the posts regarding rear ride height. Somehow, either by adding the new Koni Yellows and/or having my car jacked up on one side for a couple days I ended up with an 'uneven' rear ride height. I'll give it a few days to 'settle', but my guess is I'll have to adjust it to get it perfect. While I'm at it I'll set it to level rather than the 'American' jacked up bumper height. It looks like I'll need 24 mm and 36 mm box wrenches and a 24 mm socket to do the work. What are my chances of getting those suckers loose without an impact wrench?

Hmmm, that sounds a bit odd. Are you sure it wasn't like this the whole time? I would drive it around a bit to see if it will settle out.

Yea, I think I'm going to give it some time before I panic...each day it seems closer to level. Though eventually I think I'll adjust the rear height to non-USA spec.
