Front Suspension (Height)

Front Suspension (Height)
Hey, I just replaced my front suspension this weekend. I took Friday afternoon and all day Saturday. I got the performance kit from Lauralmustang. With the new suspension, it rides great, no knocking noise! But, I have one problem. I went out to my car this morning;the passenger side of the car was noticably higher than the driver side. I measured both sides two thousand times; the passager side was 28.5" and the drivers side was 27". The passengers side was noticably too high. Well, after fiddling around and inspecting all afternoon, I concluded that all was installed correctly. Both springs were seated correctly. Finally, I started pushing up and down and pulling upward on the front fender wells. I started measuring and I discovered that the drivers side stayed at 27" inches, but, the passenger side sits at 27" if pushed downward slightly. If I pull up on the fender well, its stays at 28.5". If I push up and down and let it fall by itself, It goes back to near 27". Anway, does anyone know if I an adjustment can be made to loosen the suspension so falls back to 27" by inself. Thanks Oh, I notice that when I installed the upper arms, the hinge was very hard to move or hinge.

RE: Front Suspension (Height)
When you installed your lower control arms to the frame bracket, did you tighen them up before sitting the car on it's suspension? If so, then that has a tendency to preload the suspension. Try loosening while sitting at normal height and then retorquing.
