Default Tilting to one side

Hi was stood outside last night in a car park and happened to look at my Outlander and noticed it looked like it was sagging a bit over to the drivers side.Looked at other vehicles parked by and they were all level.I went round and checked the distance between the top of the tyre and the body of the vehicle and sure enough on the back there is about a 2 inch difference between the passenger side and drivers side hence it's sagging to drivers side, any ideas guys I've just had all the anti roll bar rubbers replaced and drop links front and back??

I'd be looking at your springs. You don't have your location visible, so no clue if you are in the rust belt with cracked springs or in Arizona with something else going on.

Just to be more specific, since I had the same problem - check the spring and strut behind the front driver-side wheel. My spring actually cracked and broke, and the broken portion was hanging off the bottom of the spring. The end result was that the total-spring height an inch or two shorter than it should have been.


If you need a replacement spring, they run something like $70 to $100 USD, and you need a macpherson-style Spring Compressor tool to compress springs for removal or installation (which will also involve removing the entire strut assembly).
