Strut problem

Featured Replies

I replaced all 4 struts about 2 months ago. This morning I noticed that the left rear sits a good 2" lower than the right rear.

 

We've had a lot of ice and snow here lately, and some of it is caked onto my car. It was bad enough to cause some bad vibration at highway speeds. Is there any chance that this might be related, or is it more likely that I just have a strut that went bad?

A strut wont do that, but a broken spring or suspension part will.

Yes take a look at the left rear for a broken spring. Vibration from snow/ice is usually because the snow/ice has built up in the wheel somewhere putting it out of balance until it melts or flings out.
