hi all.

car sits a bit bonky eyed. (wonky)

when jacked up the drivers side spring is a TINY bit loose. (drivers side sits half inch lower)

garages reckon its because driving around with usually only a driver?

can i just buy another set of springs and swap them?

it already has a proper "lowering kit" all the way round

The garage is right, The springs havent settled equally. It's not a new one on me, it's a well know Problem on KYB Super Strust as used in Mazda 121s

does seem odd- mine has been fine- put new springs on 6 months ago and is still even. I would just swap em over- see if that helps.
