Someone help I'm thinking going insane
To start. Car was sat on standard shocks with -35mm h&r springs. Two dead shocks later pushed me into buying an upgrade.
So I bought the h&r cup kit+ new top mounts, bearings and drop links direct from Audi.
Had a garage for it all. Noticed the passenger front corner sat higher. Gave it a week. 500 miles. No difference. Took it back. Re checked. Nothing wrong.
Had another mech check it all. No problems. Nothing broken or faulty. All shocks have correct part numbers etc.
Measured the arch gap every few days to keep an eye and it's been the same since the day it was all fitted. Rears are identical, fronts are different. Passenger side is always, no matter how level the ground, whether it's on a ramp 8-10mm higher on the passenger front.
So I got the garage to fit a power flex -10mm strut top mount on one side to see if it would even it up. The mounts are noticeably different in size and it seemed obvious this would rectify the issue.
No!
Drove it for a day after fitting. Exactly the same. I can't for the life of me work out why.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I've had the garage and mechanics ask but it was sat completely level on all 4 corners before with the old knackered suspension. So could it be that the passenger side was broken before to make it level? Maybe. But if it's supposed to be higher on that corner that doesn't explain how a 10 mm lower mounts has made sod all difference ?
Does anyone else have h&r cups on their a1? Or anything for that matter? Is your suspension higher on the passenger front corner?
Any help appreciated
