Could have messed it up???

46m3csl · 08-08-2011, 10:07 PM

Well today I changed my oil, and jacked the car from the left drivers jack point, I jacked enough so I can get under it and get a jack stand there. Heres the problem once I let the car down it seems to be higher from one side then the other???? So i jacked the opposite side a bit that seemed to help but not quite there??

drive it. it will go back down.

You probably broke your car. Maybe try the dealer.

I don't think you could have messed it up just by jacking it up. It probably wasn't level before but you didn't notice it.

It's your shocks, drive it for a little and your car will settle.

even if you drive it?

may be the dealer or a shop needs to take a look at it... could be a very minor problem though. unless you really hurt your shocks / springs while driving (massive potholes etc) there should be no damage and it should be adjusted without problem....

+1 had that too, no big deal after about 5 minutes of driving it will level off

Lemon that shit already.

I have plenty of nice things to say. Just not in threads asking about 328s and if their long starts are due to HPFPs.

There is a strong correlation between the decrease in recent thread quality and the decrease in used e90 prices.
