NEED HELP!! Car Leaning to the Drivers side

minidawg029 · 08-18-2005, 06:06 PM

Hey Guys first post for me, I had a severe problem with my 04 wrb STi with 25000 miles on it. When i went to work this morning i noticed the car pulled slitghly going down the interstate. So on lunch i went out to check my tire pressure and noticed the whole car is leaning to the left front to rear!!! Its crazy I have no mods at all just got the rear struts replaced less than 500 miles ago and on the drivers side rear i cant fit my hand between the tire and the outer fender...........on the passenger side i can put my fist on the tire and not hit anything. the front isnt as bad i have about a 3 finger gap on the drivers side and about 5 finger on the passenger side. Any ideas on what could be wrong would be great.......Also might add i took it to my local dealership and they told me that i probably shouldnt drive it on the interstate and gave me a rental.

Anyone else have this happen????

Thanks Kurt

Check that your rear sway bar endlinks are not bent and/or that your sway bar hasn't flipped (one side now below the axle).

ok Subaru figured out after about 1.5 days of working on it that the springs came out of their seat position!! I took them that long to figure it out cause when they raised the car up the went back into position like nothing happened? Does anyone think that this could be bad or is it just me? Good news is car drives fine and back to the right position
