Hi,

For some time I saw that my right (passenger) side in front axle is lower for about 10-15 mm tan left side of the car. I chacked springs and they look good. So anybody have ideaa what is wrong why right side is lower tahn left? Anyway I got 545 with dynamic drive, does DD have any influence on this problem?

Possibly the shocks? Has the car ever been in an accident or had the shocks replaced?

*edit*

just saw your said axle probably not the shocks, but you should check them anyways.

Sounds like a good excuse to lower the car... I'm just saying...

The shocks have 120tkm, they are from 2004 in the car. So how to correctly check them? Did shocks could make differences in height of suspension?

the passenger side is naturally lower than the driver side of our cars. the gas tank and battery compartment is located on the passenger side of our cars. once the driver steps in, the car levels out.
