    2002 AUDI A4 TDI (B6)

    The story go's like this, rear coil spring broke on my car,i replaced only
    that spring with one from another A4 ,and noticed car was sitting 1 inch higher that side.(oh dear,should of replaced both) anyway i left it like this for around 6 months (passenger side rear 1 inch higher than rest of car)

    After 6 months i decided to change all the springs in the car and replaced with 40mm koni springs. I also got 2 front shockers fitted from a 54 plate tdi s-line. (leaving the rears standard)

    Now after the replacement koni's the passenger side rear still sits half to 1 inch higher I noticed the car wasn't sitting rite and took it back to the garage,they took back springs out and re-fitted them. cars still the same drivers side rear is ok,passenger side still higher.......you guys tell me what it could be?

    Front drivers side is lower than front passenger side----rear drivers side is lower than rear passenger side..

    .ive been told if passenger side rear is sitting 1 inch high it will cause the front drivers side to sit lower than front passenger side.

    so.....is it driversside or rear passenger side problem.???????????

    one bolt that i undid alters camber,there is one bolt behind the hub,just behind the metal plate (located on the left hand side,oposite side of the caliper) like a cover. and lower shock bolt,anti-roll bar bolt and anti-roll bar drop link bolt.

    Just been to my mechanic (not the joker who fitted the springs) he put weight on car loosened tightened all the bolts,checked the springs were sitting properly,also checked all spring part numbers.
    Car still leaning towards drivers side, his verdict................. a bloody mystery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
