I have an 89 lx convertible. I recently had the k-member out to replace the oil pan. Now the front left is sagging to were I have terrible tire rub. Any ideas what to check. I also don't have the sway bar back on yet. I use ford motor sport Springs. Isolators are maybe 3 years old and looked good. Bottom one had some ware on it.

Can sway bar effect ride height?

No
Possibly got different springs, or are they the set you pulled out?
Jack it up and check your work

I had a friend of mine did the work for me. I'm sure they are the same springs. But I have not had a chance to look since I drove it home

I don't know if the springs can be put in upside down but he likely just didn't get the adjustment right or left something loose

I will give it all a look over but I highly doubt the spring is in upside down. I planned on checking all bolts after my 15 mile drive home.

Any other main points to check?
