car is not level, any answers??
 
:dunno: no collission damage, and have changed out springs with tein, and kyb struts. car is lower on the front driver side. nothing looks bent. what do i do????

How much lower? Was it like this with the OEM springs and struts?

Does tein have a staggered drop(Drops more in the front then the rear).

^^^^

Also. Did yo umeasure the springs before you put them on? It might be collapsed or you may have assembled it wrong.

i bought it like this, and it had the stock springs and struts, i did notice damaged ball joints...

It can happen when a car slams into a pot hole. The spring will collapse & loose it's ability to hold that corner of the car up. Very common with high mileage cars.

It normally requires replacement of the spring & strut/shock.

Like he said damaged ball joints. There is his awnser right there. Suspension damage.

that depends on if he switched to Tein/KYB before or after he noticed the height difference.

Tein has staggered lowering but nothing major, plus front and rear springs can't be interchanged no matter how hard you try

Have you actually measured the difference? Try using a tape measure, go to somewhere relatively flat (concrete is better) and take measurements from the ground to the highes part of the fender, then report back with results

i repl the ball joints and measures fine, thx.

correction, ball joint not problem. cast off on driver side and gives it a low pitch. sorry.

I was going to suggest taking the dead body out of the trunk/hatch
