battery in trunk/rear right side leaning question

LX XLR8R · 03-06-2001, 09:29 PM

wiring is all done but where do most you put the battery..originally i wanted it to go over the passanger side tire but the car seems like it is leaning to that side way to much now(could be i have other stuff in trunk and or the front right tire wasnt aired up when i saw the right was sagging more on the rear)
i am using 4 banger spings but that should make no diffrence..could i of put the rear in cockeyed(i dint think it was possible)any help is good help..so let me air up the fronts and see if that makes a diffrence..just for refrence the right side had 1/4" and the left side about 3/4-1"..i think i just got to air up the fronts and put the battery in the middle but what do you think

Did you ever see if car leans when battery is not in trunk at all? I suggest that 1rst.

Could be air pressure. Maybe. Could also be (if car leans without battery in trunk that back right spring is worn more than back left. Yeah, and it could be that you have more stuff on right side (but I seriously doubt that--how much crap would you have in your trunk anyway.)

Make sure you installed the springs right. The pigtail on the springs needs to be faceing the same way.
