hai guise, i've got a bit of a problem...

so my gen3 is sitting on s-techs, and normally i've got about a half inch gap between the tires and the wheel well. however, a few nights ago, i noticed that my passenger side rear wheel is sitting a whole inch higher than the other wheels! so i'm just trying to figure out what's going on with it? what can cause this, and how can i fix it? the only thing i can think of is maybe the dealership messed something up when i took it in for service. anyone have any ideas?

Look at the rear spring perches. When they put it on the lift on of the rear springs may have move out of position while the axle beam was hanging.

ok, so here's the weird thing: i went out to check the rear spring perch, and the spring seems to have settled back down... :S

is it possible that these things can fix themselves?

It is possible. Driving it with them partially out of place they may have popped back into place on the perches, which is better than popping out and rolling away.
