Arrrggh, suspension collapsed?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I have my 350 lowered on k sport lowering springs with a pretty big drop...around 1 inch.

 

On one side it is now lower than the other, so low that there's no gap between the tyre and the car.

 

Any thoughts on what will need to be replaced and the cost to do this?

 

Thanks

A small difference between left to right is normal, but I'm talking a mm or 2. Have you checked to see if the problem side is seated correctly in the pan?

 

If it is and the spring isn't broke then it sounds to me like you need a new shock.

Thanks Kyle. Would I feel a noticeable difference when driving? As I don't notice anything to be honest. One of my neighbours who's clued up on cars pointed it out and has made me paranoid.

Take a wheel off and feel the ends of the springs. If it looks/feels rough, it may well have snapped part of a coil off. You would likely have noticed it whilst driving though if that's happened.
