2002 viper ER.
I took a good look at my viper recently and it seems to sit 1-1 1/4 inches lower on the throttle side. What could be the cause of this? I measuered from the ground to the rear bolt on the trailing arm. 1 inch lower on the throttle side of the machine. This holds true all the way to the tail of the sled. I have an ebay trailing arm on the throttle side. But i have taken many mesurements and cannot find a differance between the ebay trailing arm and factory trailing arm. Also just put ohlin shocks on the front. Any ideas of why the sled sits lower on one side?

Front ski spring retainer nut has backed off and let the spring go out of adjustment.

just installed the new front suspension both spring retainers have the same amount of threads showing.

Tunnel could be twisted from the impact that bent your trailing arm
what is the best way to check for a twisted tunnel? is this common after bending a trailing arm?

I wouldn't say its common probably, but it can certainly happen. I bought a viper last year that sat like that due to a similiar impact (Bent trailing arm from ski hitting a tree). Sled looked like it was set up for nascar racing. Everything had been replaced, but the tunnel was twisted and actually kinked slightly in the area behind the brake rotor.
