Rear suspension binding

[Flat 4 Racing]

I just busted out my Impreza tonight to mess with, and decided to upgrade the springs while I was at it, and realized that the rear suspension is binding. When I press down on the left rear corner of the chassis, it pops back up like a suspension should, but when I press down on the rear right corner of the chassis, it only comes up about half-way and the wheel is still leaning.

I've looked for debris (cat hair, dirt, etc.) and I'm not finding anything that should interfere with the operation of the rear suspension. Is there anything else I can check? Everything appears normal from a visual inspection.

maybe if you follow a tut like this one here you could free up the suspension:

make sure the screws aren't on too tight. specifically the ones that mount the tops of the shocks to the suspension arms. I've had problems with those if I accidentally tighten them too much.

Thanks for the link, I'll try this. I'll also try loosening the screws a tad bit as was also suggested. Thanks, guys. I'll report back with an update.

Yeah. Usually the shock screws can cause binding. Its very evident on some of my Evos when I accidentally over-tighten. Not as much on my Gen1s though, as I don't usually use them.

Yeah, the shocks on my '67 Camaro don't have that issue. While mentioning the Camaro, where can I get replacement tires like the stockers? I haven't been able to find them anywhere. They're like a drag-slick.
