Hey guys, my car is an 04 has 50,000 km's on it, and i just noticed today it is 3/4" lower on the drivers side. All the pressure in the tires are all 34PSI. So I dont know what it can be. Car was never driven in the winter. Any thoughts on what the problem could be would be awsome, Thanks guys.

Most likely the ground is not level.

Measure it from the ground to the frame height when you put it on a lift eh!

When I installed my front splash guards I noticed my driver side to be about 1 inch lower than the passenger side as well.

the ground is level its in my garage and i checked if the floor was level. I can put a block under the other side but on the otherside if i put a block its tight against that little rubber mud flap. Brice, when did you notice? and what did u do?

Can anyone measure their stock height from the floor to where the quarter panal starts for me?

You could have a dead/blown strut? Remove the wheels and look to see if theres any oil like fluid around the strut.

i checked with a flashlight, there is no leaking. strut is dry

I checked in my garage too, which is level. Shocks are good as well.

so your car is still lower on one side?

Brice-RX8

Haven't checked in a while, I will measure and see.

Measured last night and the drivers side front is now about half inch lower that the passenger front, and on the back both sides seem to be even. I measured from the floor to the lip of the fender.

I noticed this as well, back when I was trying to correct a pulling-to-one-side problem and needed to derive proper camber angles to verify alignment. Problem turned out to be power-steering electrical connections, not alignment. Not sure why one side is low but I've seen other comments about it. I wouldn't worry about it too much; it seems common. Maybe settling from driver's weight?

previous owner wasnt a big guy. I have an appointment on monday with mazda to do my brakes, and fix a P0420 code that keeps coming on. Anyone have that issue. I had the light come on for that a month ago. Its a cat issue. Went to the dealership they said it was just something in the computer and they cleared it. Done FREE apparently still under warrenty. 2 weeks later comes on again, i scan i with my scangaugeII and same code. I cleared it. 2 weeks later(this week) on again same code. So I dont know what it is. If its the Cat. I called mazda the cat is under warrenty for 8 yrs or 100,000k. if its an o2 sensor is it under warrenty too? anyone having or had this same problem???
