I'm adjusting the height now for the rears but one side the springs (just the springs, not the whole strut(?)) are rotating freely while the other side it's taking a lot of effort to rotate. The measurement for the seat lock (for Springs) and the lower bottom lock for height are the same now after my adjustment. Is this normal? Should the springs be taut or loose? Car is currently jacked up by the differential btw. It's the drivers side that's loose, could it be because the passenger side has the gas tank and it's pitting pressure on the springs? I do have a full tank. Yeah, I'm not sure haha
