So I lowered my car on tien springs about 4 months ago.
I kept them on the struts that were on the car, i don't think they were still from factory. I changed out my endlinks last weekend with the twos rus cause my stock ones were work out. I just kept them the same length as teh stock ones. No yesturday i noticed that in the rear, the driver side is a bit lower than the passenger side.(about a finger width or so lower.) Now i don't know if this problem was before teh endlinks or after, i didn't really notice. But anyways what could have caused this? Did I do something wrong with the endlinks, or are my struts on their way out? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
