Coilover sagging

So im having issues with one of my rear coilovers basically I noticed the rear passenger side was about 10mm lower then it should be so I raised it up all seemed good took the car out but when I checked it the same side had dropped down again ive done this 4 times now and each time it drops back down.

so I was wondering if anyone else has had this and found the issue id like to take it in to be looked at professionally but im transitioning jobs and funds are low .

Could be a blown shock, as if it gets depressurized, it essentially removes a little bit of spring rate, so that corner will sag.

Sounds like you need a new set of coilovers. Megans are inexpensive options.

Better yet, don't buy any more junk. Bilstein PSS costs around $1000 shipped. They will last a long time and are rebuildable should they fail. And, they are far better than any of the Asian stuff.
