I installed s techs about 2 weeks ago and in the rear one side is lower then the other, i want to know what this problem is. Im wondering if it is slow on settling or what, I did the install my self with a friend and they seem like they are on right. I also have TRD shocks with tein s techs.. any help is appriciated. thanks

 

I think i have solved the problem well my front drivers side is the cause because when i put the dust cover back on i didnt aline the square hole up perfect. therefore the drivers side front is sitting lower makeing the passeger side rear higher, kinda of like a seesaw. but i have ordered another dust cover for the front and hopfully that will fix my problem.....thanx

 

How do you like the TRD shocks with the S-techs? Good to hear the problem is fixed.

 

I like it alot it is a much sportier ride, its nice and stiff, its not to much from a stock ride. A stock stiffer ride, if that makes sense..

 

I guess I can see what you are saying...haha

 

one of my rear sides is lower too, been that way since I put them on, I learned to live with it

 

when you installed the rear shocks do you have the TRD logo facing outward on both sides?

If you look at the lower spring perch you will see there is a notch that locates the spring. If you have both shocks with the TRD logo facing out then one side will be lower. One shock should have the logo facing outward and one inward. On my car the right rear has the logo facing inward and mine sits level.

 

did you in install your shock like that the first time, or was it uneven before?

 

I did it the first time after seeing someone else mention it here. After looking at it I went ahead and did it because it really seemed to make sense.

You can see how theres about a 1/2 inch drop in the notch alone:

 

when i put a full tank of gas my car leans to the left slightly, i thinks is because the battery is on the left driver left and the gas tank is on the left. It's not by much, but when i measured it my car had a slight lean.
