Why would my golf be sagging on the drivers side? UPDATE

[sidecarphil]

i would say a saggy shock mate

push down on them with the springs off see if they both come back up the same and at the same speed

i know it is slightly differance but i race RC touring cars and we have to balance the shocks with the correct amount of oil so each shock comes out the same amount when pressed in and released !!

same on a normal car used ERM bigger

if your removing both shocks you could try refitting them to the opposite side and see of your drop happens on the passengers side

do both the shocks look the same , are they quite new ? you might have different dampers , one being a standard and one a with a lower spring plate ( you should be able to see this clearly when they are both removed ).. it also might be worth checking to see if your anti roll bar linkages are both intact

my top guess would be dampers and springs ..

Bloody spring cap!!!!!!!!!! 

Thats all it was, even though i had checked it over and over and over.

Anyway its sorted now
