The left side suspension looks lower than the right side on my honda del sol?

I bought a 95 honda del sol and took it for alignment, but didn't pass. The left side front and rear tires are a little lower than the right side. I eye balled the springs and they look about the same. What could cause this? Please help?The left side suspension looks lower than the right side on my honda del sol?Measure! Get a tape and measure from ground to wheelarch on both sides, front and rear. This is something that an alignment shop should do on an older car anyway as part of their initial inspection.



If it is indeed sitting lower on one side, it's likely on a Honda that a spring is broken, they're known for it. They break near the top and can be hard to spot. Otherwise they're just worn and sagged more on one side, which would have to mean a previous owner was heavy and drove alone!



How do you FAIL an alignment??????? The car is road tested, lifted up, checked for play (Did you have any loose components?) ... the heads are put on the wheels, the car is lowered onto the tables, the angles are measured. Toe is set if it's off (You would know if your steering wheel was off centre) and camber and caster are measured (These generally cause pulling). Almost everything on a Honda is adjustable... though sometimes you need to replace parts to do it.
