Rear trailing arm problems?????

[AUDIS2avant]

After lowering the avant, the left rearwheel is touching the wing/fender when driving, also it sits about 1-2cm more to the back of the wing(sorry for the bad description, i AM from denmark)

Any ideas people?

How much have you lowerd it?

EDIT: it sound like your subframe/control arm might be a little off, if that means the wheel on the one side is spot on, and the wheel on the other side is 1-2cm off.

You should take your avant to an 4 wheel aligning appointment. They should fix it, adjusting the subframe, control arms or giving it the right camber for the lowering.
Also, all cars should have their four wheels alligned after lowering. You dont have to, but you should (= right geometry, longer lasting tyres, and fixing problems like this).

H&R kit, and HAVE got it alligned.
Car drives as it should.
Is there anything in the suspension that can be mounted in the wrong way?

Have you checked for loosen bolts after they alligned it? There is some parts in the suspension that can be mounted the wrong way, but most parts is quite obvius. Exactly what parts do you think of?
Is the H&R kit lowering 35 or 45mm?

Try using a measuring band on each side to see if the arms length and height are the same. Also check the camber bolts, that they are in the same position right and left.

It might not be your case, but last time I got my avant alligned, I they did a crappier job on it than my dad and me did in the garage beeing able to drive to that shop. after paying big bucks for nothing we alligned it back to our specs, and so it went until the engine popped. That supposed to be a quality shop too. Worst of all they let one nut loose

What's in the boot? Also what shocks are you using

Car looks lower that an Avant on stock H&R lowering springs

I bought a std 35mm H&R kit, monroe shocks in the backbut it´s actualy visible that the wheel is more to the back then the right side.
Can you mount the trailing arm´s in the wrong way or somat?

maybe before lowering you did not notice that. something must be bent there... the lower arm probably, or at least a bush badly damaged...

There was no problems before i lowered the car, so yes maybe.
Will check up on it when i put the new shocks in
