Hey! I changed my coil springs, shocks, sway bars, "struts" & quad shocks a couple weekends ago. Now I have a problem, the passenger side rear sits lower than the driver's side. The tire is hitting on the wheel well and starting to cause body damage. I think I have a bad lower cotrol arm bushing in the right rear. My question is could that cause the differance in height? I have 17" wheels with 40 series tires and the stock control arms. Please help. Thanks Banging head on wall

My guess is that your passenger side rear spring isn't in its perch properly. If you look at a spring, one side is coiled and open and the other is closed. Duh. But anyways, if you didn't seat it right, it could cause the spring to be resting at a position it shouldn't. Make sense?

Thanks
 but the perches are not adjustable. and  I know about the end of the coil springs and how or where they fit. So I know thats not it but thank you. I thinks it's a bad bushing in the control arm. Any other ideas are greatly appreciated too.
