Why would the right side of my 89 S2 sit 1/2 inch higher than the left? (cross post)
I Can't figure this out. The right side, front and rear wheel wells, sits 1/2 inch higher than the left. It handles great. No vibrations at higher speeds and neither side seems spongier than the other. It has 180K on it. The only suspension work has been a new left control arm. Any ideas?

The left control arm probably has a newer bushing which won't allow as much play but it shouldn't cause a half inch difference. The car is 21 years old though and you sit on the left side of the car, so over time it has probably become used to having 150+ lbs on the left side of the car all the time. It's just like your shoes, as they age they mold to your feet due to the weight they have on them all the time. My 85 944 seems to look lower on the left side too and I'm sure it's from the previous owner being over 200lbs and driving it his whole life.
