Hi, my 97 civic sits 1.5 inches lower on the left side rear than on the right. I first assumed it is the spring that is bad, but it seems to be intact. Somebody suggested it could be a bad bushing, so I have pictures of all the bushings on the left rear suspension assembly.any advice?

Bottom bushing near brake drum

bushing on control arm to chassis

left rear spring

rear left camber

bushing on the rear support that leads towards front of car (sorry I don't know the name of it).

I just want to get my car riding the equal height all the way around. Thanks for any help! John

Do did you wake up one morning and your car was like this? Did you hit a bump? Was it over time?

Well, it's hard to say since I recently bought the car. I do know that the previous owner hit a curb on the left side and had to replace the drive shaft and upper control arm in the front. He didn't do anything to the rear. Does that help?

did you compare both sides for differences?

it seem you have only one side posted.

The only thing I can see as far as a difference is the upper rear trailing arm bushing, pictured in the last photo that I posted. If this bushing is bad like it looks ripped in the photo, could that be the culprit of my car sitting low? Or is it still the springs?
