jpgibson Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 greetings from the antipodes. my s3 has just had all the suspension replaced ( not with coilovers), but it was the same before this....basically the right rear is 5-7 mm lower than the left. what could it be , ? control arms ? anything else- the ( trusted) mechanic thought everything looked ok at the time of install. thanks, its got me stumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Probably not what you want to hear, but is it possible its had an accident/ been repaired in its previous life? its the first thing that crossed my mind, when you mention its the same with 2 lots of suspension.

audiquattro Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 If you haven't changed the springs, check if it has snapped at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvantSE Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Make sure the bolts on were all torqued up when the car was sitting level on its wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpgibson Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 well, funny you should mention the 'accident'.it was listed as a 'repairable writeoff'- although the story is that of being stolen, left at railway station, scratched, stripped out etc etc- none of which was mentioned to me when i bought it ( from a dealer).my mechanic , said that the car was all ok , so i dont think anything too bad's happen ( hope springs eternal). thanks jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
