Hello, my car sits really low on one corner, just the rear drivers side. Ive replaced both the rear shock asborbers and the springs yet the car still sits stupidly low on this one side. Ive checked the tyres and they are both the same depth. Its that low even the smallest bump causes the tyre to rub the wheel arch....

It could be the actual body of the car has been bent upwards by a big impact. or has is happen gradualy, inspect the arms / wish bone to see if they are bent.

HI, a friend of mine has a bmw and both his back springs have broken. The car now sits about 2" lower, but as both side have broke it looks ok. So I would check the springs again, along with the top mounts to make sure nothing is coming adrift under there.


Good luck
