One side is lower than other in front??
I tried searching for this problem, but all I could find was the same issue in the back where a few potential solutions such as panhard bar adj. and such were offered. As you can see from my mod list my car is lowered with FRPP springs. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if at the time I lowered it (over 1 year/15k miles ago) I measured the height or not. A few days ago I was driving after dark and caught a nice pothole on one of these nice beautiful streets of Los Angeles where every road you go through you should be careful on as if you're going through a damn mine field. I pulled over to see if the tire and rim were ok and saw no damage. However, after this incident I started looking at the front of the car and it seemed that the driver's side is slightly lower (it might've been this way before the pothole incident though) and that is the same side the pothole was on. I measured the height difference and it was pretty ugly-- 5/16". Prior to measuring it I made sure L and R tires had the same pressure in them. I got underneath to look for any visible damages/bent parts etc and found nothing. I did take a close look at the spring too even though I'd assume a pothole would pop a tire or bend the rim before it could do any significant damage to the spring itself. Can the driver's side be simply heavier because of the steering components? If a spring goes bad does it make a vehicle lower on the side that it sits on or does it do the opposite? Also, I checked my adj. strut mounts and one side side half a degree off (camber), but I really don't think it could cause that. I'll really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
