Uneven rear spring preload

[cwylie]

Im running a speedtech torque arm rear with ridetech coilovers. I have almost an inch maybe more preload in the passenger side spring to get it to the same ride height at the drivers side. I cant think of any logical reason for this other than maybe a bad spring. Thoughts?

It takes scales to properly set up springs.....

Yeah to do it 100% it would take scales. Out of all the coil-over setups I have run on different vehicles in the past this is the only one that took significantly more preload on one side than the other.

What do the preloads look like on the front? Both the same?

FWIW my 67 Chevy II has coilovers and one of the rear springs seem to be an inch more compressed than the other. When I finally put it on scales the rear weights were within 14lbs.:screwy:

Yeah the fronts are pretty close to even.

Did you disconnect front and rear sway bars before leveling or setting preload?
