jack the car up and try and move the wheel. if you get mocement then your bushes have probably gone. don;t know the set up for the rear on a veccy so could not comment on which ones

You sure the bumpstop hasnt collapsed on the side thats sat low? On your coilovers how far off the bumpstops have you set them? This would also explain your banging if the bumpstop has demolished. You sure you did the lockring up tight on the bottom platform, as if its come loose it could of wound down making it sit lower? Last thing would be a collapsed spring but I VERY much doubt it would be that! :thumbs:

forgive me if im wrong but i believe the term coilover means the coil is over the shocker and comes as a complete unit

i could understand problems with the fronts but rear ........................... :|

i had a good look under today and couldnt see any immediate signs but didnt have the means of jackin the car up and takin wheel off for a better look

can still lean over. i was goin say that my adjustables were leaning to the passenger side really bad yesterday so i checked today and the nsr spring had completely lost its tension. this is the 2nd one now. so i put some old pi springs on. lower than before. but on coilovers the spring is part of the coilover assy isnt it? so cant b a spring?!?!

id of thought if it was a worn bush it would bang about but not alter the actual height of the suspension that much

u got any worn axle control bushes or does the coilover setup remove them?

ive noticed last few weeks my suspension has started banging and was goin to get it looked at then on my mums drive today i noticed that the rear of my car is sat lop-sided.

on inspection the wheel seems to be sat in the arch on one side but way in the air on the other....................

any ideas wot the problem might be:boggle: they have only been on the car 6 months :!
