My e46 is uneven in ride height

[advocates]

I just notice that my right rear wheel of my e46 sits lower than the rest. There is a two fingers gap when the rest has three fingers gap. Is it normal??

Old topic, it is normal.

As the car initially design for LHD. The designer take count for driver weight actually.

When come to RHD, the height is obvious which the driver and battery all in right side.

Happen to my ride b4 but mine was Front. Manage to fix it by taken out both RH & LH coil spring sitting equally on the absorber for both side.

Thx bro for this info... BTW can post pic or specific item/brand you use?

 

[advocates]

the spring pad is orignal..costs RM120.00

RM 120 per piece or the whole 4pcs? or just rear 2 pcs?

 

[advocates]

per piece.., you may not need to change the whole set of four. The mechanic will measure the ride height of the car first then determine which side need to have it replaced.
