Just put on new tokico struts and shocks, ball joints , bushings, and endlinks about a month ago. I had a noise before that that I am still having now so I took it to the guy who did the work for me to have him give me his opinion on also why my car has a lean on the rear pass side. The hieght is not the same on both sides. I had this problem long time ago actually and now I guess since I just got those things fixed, its time to just get it all taken care of. I just wanted you guys opinon on if it's possible the springs have worn on the rear. He looked at yesterday and said he noticed that the rear springs did look sort of shabby when he did the work. On the pass side, the first 3 coils are like close as heck together if not touching. The other side looks fine but I guess it's a situation to might as well replace both.
NOw back in about 05 I hit a curb with the driver's side front tire and had some work done. I had it to a frame shop to get pulled straight. I couldnt or didnt notice any visible damage and forgot why I ended up taking it to a frame shop. I noticed the guy had put a bolt in between the spring on the drivers side rear. I remember talking to him and he explained to me what all he did and could do. So now I'm just wondering what would have caused the spring on the pass side rear to be looking the way it is. The guy yesterday recommend just going ahead and getting 2 new rear springs and also we are going to check the bushings in the control arms on the rear. He said he dont remember them looking bad but there is a situation too where again I was send the wrong polyeurothane bushings for my control arms and since we already had the car up and started taking stuff apart, we just trimmed some off the bushings to make them fit and they have been in the car ever since. So we need to inspect all of those too.
My main thing is what would have made that spring do that and if that's the main culprit?
I traded a guy back in about 04 the V6 eibach's that I put on my car before the engine swap. I gotta check and see if he still has them but probably not good to put the v6 ones on there anyway huh?
