Hello everyone. Just a quick question. My car has always set lower on the driver side. when measuring the two sides, the driver's side is about 3/4" lower than the passenger's side. Could a bad bushing cause this? the bushing have never been replaced. If one has collapsed in the back could it make it unlevel in the front? The car has never been wrecked either.

I have the Eibach drag kit with 70/30's and 50/50's on it right now. I plan on buying control arms for it soon and was wondering what yall opinions were on the best control arms. Thanks in advance!

Im not sure if the bushings would cause this (possilbe imo) but if you say they've never been replaced you might just want to replace them anyway to prevent further problems. are they cracking or anything? best of luck

try measuring each corner. a slightly tweaked frame can cause that. many stangs have different heights at all four corners. unibody: think of a cardboard box. hit one corner and the rest of the box gets tweaked.

do the struts function equally (i once had a KYB rear shock on another car seize. nice low rider look, albeit a bit harsh.). do both springs have isolators on them? look for assymetrical stuff like that. you can look at the bushing and see how it looks. try pushing each corner down (front) and see how they compare for compression and rebound.
good luck.
