I have an 05 STi with pinks and a Cobb rear sway bar. I recently noticed that the right wheel is 1/8 of an inch further from the fender then the left wheel.

I took it into the dealer who said that since I have a swaybar that I just nullified my warranty for my entire suspension. But they added that an 1/8 inch is within Subaru factory standards.

This True about the 1/8 in.? Could the rear sway bar or a shoddy spring install be the culprit? The dealer installed the pinks.

Is there anything I can check in terms of the install?

 

springs take a bit of time to settle down. I wouldn't worry much about the 1/8'', give it another week or two and see if it settles on the other sides of the car.


as for swaybars, no they dont affect ride height at all.

 

yeah, I thought that at first but it has been like 2 months since I had the springs installed...

 

Owned.

No a sway bar will not affect ride height at all. You're lucky suspension problems aren't too common. I bet if you painted your pinks and swaybar black they'd never notice.

 

black spray paint ready...

 

Hmm... pretty colors or stealthiness?

 

is it really within standards? Seems a bit much to me.
