[Audi A3/S3] my car's a bit wonky

[jpgibson]

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

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.

If you haven't changed the springs, check if it has snapped at the bottom.

Make sure the bolts on were all torqued up when the car was sitting level on its wheels.

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
