Butt sag

[Mr. Pockets]

I've noticed, when visiting my SVX and running the engine briefly every four weeks, that the right rear corner is sagging about a half-inch lower than the left rear.

Is this likely just a worn strut, or a bad strut mount?

I suppose the consensus will be that I'm just going to have to take it apart and look for myself...

That happens to all of us as we get older.

That hapend to the left rear side of my car.
Almost 3/4" lower on that side.
I replaced the strut mount with a used one.

I still have a used one for the right side if you would like to buy it from me, it is rust free and from a mid western car (no snow).

$20+shipping

PM me if you want it.

A) Yes, I took the bait on the thread title.

B) Yes, it could be either -- more likely the mount.

C) Yes, that's exactly what I was going to tell you, but decided to be nice and give an opinion because of the creative thread title.

Your Strut Mount is Rotted.

I have a picture of a bad rear shorter rusted strut mount in my locker. The road dust just loves to sit on top of the thing, salt included.

The front left tire was really low (10psi) and causing the left rear to sag a little. It's even now that I properly inflated the tires.

Glad to see you've remedied your saggy butt.

I may have the same problem, but need to check, the car has been looking a little saggy in the left butt cheek
I'll poke around in the butt end a little later to see what I find.(did I say that out loud? )

Spoken like a future proctologist.

I can see you're getting jealous John, you can be next

No thank you! I went to my doctor last week. I appreciate your concern for my well being!

I think Randy skipped his appointment, Ask him!

Wrong, Prep H Breath! I had my appointment just last month. Got a clean bill of health, except the Dr. insisted on 20mg Lipitor (hey, I'm a southerner, fried foods are my life, what can I say).
