riding high
Hey guys, I was washing my car today and noticed something really wired.
First - I have a 2010 GS 350 AWD and I just got it about 1 month ago.
My right side is riding higher then my left side.
I can get only 4 fingers between the body and the tire on the left but 5 fingers on the right side between the tire and body.
My car is all stock.
Please help.
Thanks guys,
J.

Hi guys i have the same issue my car is a gs350 AWD lowered on NF210 now recently my car has been sitting lower than it should in the back driver side wheel causing the passenger side to raise up its about a 3 finger gap on the passenger side and 1 1/2 on the driver side usually it is about 2 fingergap. (From my post in the suspension sub-forum)

The spring, spring position and strut mounts dictate the ride height, not the dampening ability of the strut.
You could drill a hole straight through the body of the strut and the vehicle height won't change.

Could you explain to me how a strut has anything to do with ride height?

Here's some information stolen from another forum... Schmexus is right. I say the struts may be worn because worn struts can cause premature failure to the springs, wearing them out more than usual, even possibly causing improper seating.

good info.. i was just saying were talking about a '1' FINGER difference not a significant amount… sorry if your upset about the advice… i had a blown strut on my accord and it was just slightly a tad lower on that side as he is suggesting. so in my example replacement if the strut fixed the problem…thanks gokou for not being hard on me!
