HcHII rear ride height
I have done a search and came up empty.
I was looking at my tires today and noticed that the left rear is at least
3/4" lower then the right rear. Fronts are within 1/8" of each other.
As a test I put my other car in the same spot and all corner are +- of each other.
The tank is full and all items removed from trunk. I had the rear control arms replace about a month ago, could a spring go bad?, or damaged when the arms were install?
Should I be concerned?
Help

Re: HcHII rear ride height
i've found the cause of your problem
they are manufactured with the "defect" on most civic
i checked mine, same 1/4 diff as yours
but i was informed by the local distrubutor that Honda feedback to them
"not service affecting" so they are doing nothing to correct them

Re: HcHII rear ride height
Wonder if it has anything to with right-hand (Japan, Australia, etc), vs left-hand driver position.

I found the same thing. I eyeballed it one day, then took a tape measure to it and sure enough....1/2 inch difference.
Anyone??

Re: HcHII rear ride height
let me repeat myself again
it was Honda defect from factory
i've checked with all other Civics and found all has the same fault
and nothing to do with right or left hand drive since US guys also reported same fault
mine was replaced with after-market coilover but has the same problem
so its nothing to do with spring or damper
it can be easly corrected with my coilover setup but i rather leave it

Re: HcHII rear ride height
mine aftermarket SPC camber and adjustable but believe that do not help
i measured all imaginable part near the wheel arch for reference but fail to find any fault with exterior panels
I’ll inspect further on my next servicing at Honda authorized distributor
