This is a common thing amongst many Lancers. I remember a thread about this over a year ago where a lot of people talked about this exact thing. I dont think there was an answer for the issue.

Oh. Well I was just wondering if the problem would be in the suspension or in the design of the car. My thoughts as of now is that its the actual design of the car and not the suspesion but we would have to get someone more experienced to second that.

i've noticed the same thing, i'm on TEIN basics. when i blew one of those out i adjusted the new one so that this slant isn't even noticable. the difference in height is very very small--but it gets rid of that slant for the most part.

My guess is it's because of the suspension sagging more on the driver's side because of the constant weight that is present.

your an idiot, don't post something completely off topic, in 2 seperate threads. use the search function on this website and find out for yourself.





And Amby, you are probably right about the constant pressure on the drivers side. good thinking

Start your own thread if you want to get an answer. Posting your question in other threads will only get you in trouble.
