reasons my passenger side is dropping lower...and lower...?!?

damuddmann · 12-20-2009, 05:34 PM

so my front passenger side kept getting lower and lower, i figured it was the coil springs, so i took it in and 4wheel parts here in mesa arizona said that was the prob so i bought new ones and had them put em in. it was all finished except they informed me now there was still a 1/2" diffrence! they said the frame was possibly bent! i havent done anything crazy enough to bend my frame! minor wheeling and i never hit anything hard enough! what else could it be?! part of me wonders of they painted over my origional springs and threw them back in because there is paint chipping off...and its getting lower again!?!? help!!!

Hardly possible. LOOK at the frame.
The frame would have to be bent in the wierdest places, multiple places, and if it was the radiator support/front fender wouldn't align and the rear body corner/rear bumper would look funny too.

Typical 4wheelparts - the Kmart of truck parts stores...

haha thats what my dad was giving me crap about...but in my defense i believe my jeep is just high enough for FAT chicks to be unable to get in. athletic....big-boned girls possibly. haha, so im pretty sure my frame is fine ive looked at it! is it possible a company like 4wheel parts could have done something as jacked up as painted my old springs?! what else could be causing it to drop...?!

Taking your jeep near a 4wp store=first mistake

The "jeep lean" is a normal thing. That coil spring wears out quicker due to the engine torquing in that direction. I wouldn't be surprised if 4wp didn't replace the springs. Here's what I would do--swap the sides of both front springs and see if it makes a difference. Make sure to take before and after measurements for reference.

I'm seconding this. Some lifts actually supply a bit longer passenger side spring to resolve this. Rub the drivers side flare into a tree and it'll all even out, visually. Hehe.
