ride height

[scargo70]

I need some help(dont we all)
The passenger side (both front and rear) of my car currently rides lower than driver's by a fraction of an inch (1/4)-not much but it is noticable.
Any suggestion on how to remedy this?

Also what is corner balancing?
Thanks

So does mine ... until I get in it...

Have someone measure your car with you in it...

Ride height is set with the suspension loaded on the driver's side ...'dummy weight' - (Sparklets bottles, sand bags, brother's-in-law)

Sounds like it's pretty close to me as it sits...

Cheers,

I wouldn't worry about a 1/4" higher driver side at all. And Chuck brings up a good point (as usual). Probably looks perfect with you sitting in it.

Corner balancing attempts to evenly distribute the weight of the vehicle at all 4 corners by adjusting suspension loading. Do a search on Pelican, lots of info there.

I had new shocks installed and my car balanced all the way around by a pro who knows what he's doing. It wasn't cheap but the ride difference and cornering capabilities of the car are easily 100% improved.

Sandy, who did your suspension work?

Thanks all; as usual the comments were helpful.
Chuck was right, when i sat in the car the ride hieght differential disappear.
My mechanic and I also adjusted the front ride height with me in the car.
It seems that by lower the car (my front is now 23"-ground to fender opening) the car has a more controlled feel to it- especially the front end.

Any thoughts on that observation? Is it because the shocks are in effect compressed with lowering of the car?

BTW for all those who are interested, the car is running great
I took a ride up woodside road here in silicon valley yesterday and It was heavenly.
Thanks to all on the Board whose insights have helped as I have sorted out the car after taking it out of storage.
