So, I was looking around at the suspension on my car and I noticed the rear passenger side spring is like crushed. By crushed I mean, all the coils r like ONTOP of eachother, liek theres alot of force on the right rear side of the car. I'll have to get a picture of it tomorrow or sumthing.


But can neone tell me what it could be?
 
rear passenger side is where all the tension goes to in a launch .. pay attention to videos online or at your local track.. between rear wheel drive and awd most cars when launched hard mainly sink in the back right corner due to the tremendous force from the launch. My guess is since you are AWD that has something to do with it. If you dont personally track the car or launch hard on the street, it could have happened from the previous owner. I find it interesting that your ride isnt freaking crazy though.. a compressed spring seems like something that would be really noticable.


Thats the only thing i could think of. My friends getting adjustable suspension kit for his 95 awd so when hes at the track he can heavily stiffen the right rear and other corners accordingly to keep from sinking the back bad and roasting the fronts.


Not sure if its curable though!
