really need help!!!

[alilandaverde]

ok so its been a little more than a week now and my car still is real high from the front. for everybody that doesnt know wat happened i was fixing my front axels and it started raining and i left my car lifted on a jack all night and when i was done i noticed that my car was really lifted from the front. some people told me to just drive it and the springs should settle down but its been more than a week and nothing has happen. any advice to wat i can do to lower it back to the original height?

[TypeG]

i've never seen that happen before.

try putting sand bags under the hood at night. (not while driving of course)
do you have stock suspension? later.

That happened to my car, too. After I changed my lpassenger lower ball joint the car height is higher on one side. Some people said that it takes time to settle, but it has been a month and it still like that. I am still waiting for my other ball joint to arrive.

It sounds to me like your springs got stretched out from hanging maybe? You could try renting a spring compresor if you don't have one and just compres them back to normal size.. if that is the problem.

what do you think happens when the car sits on the ground? (the spring gets compressed) later.

apparently thats not working but im sure spring compresor would do the trick if that is the problem

Doood, Ive seen something similar. Did you get your car aligned after the front end work? I did a set of struts on a friends car and as he backed out of my driveway the car looked like the front was on hydrolics. Almost near the high end of the suspension travel. Dont ask me why it did this to the car, but he took his car to a local tire and suspension place and they alligned the front end for 25$ and it fixed the problem. ANY suspension work should be followed up with a alignment job, but i guess you said all you did was change a axel.... No way the springs streched bad enuf to be preminate. So just nail a few speed bumps at 35 and pray you dont brake anything, but do get a alignment job after hitting the speed bumps, youll need it by then. lol

???? WHy would you still need a compressor you can only exert so much force while the spring is ALREADY compressed by a 3000lb car...
