    Car Lopsided to the Left

    I just got done putting on new control arms and bushings (I removed the sway bar to get to the subframe nuts also), and my car seems to be lopsided to the left. I think partially it's the tire pressure, but I don't think that completely accounts for it because it's very noticeably higher on the right side. Any ideas on how I could fix this?

    The only items that would seem to impact ride height would be wheels/tires, springs (spring pads as well), and body integrity (including rear trailing arms/subframes).

    Do you happen to have a picture that you could link?

      I tried taking some photos but the lean can be so easily misportrayed by the angle of the camera. the difference in height from the tire to wheel well is about one inch. The difference in height due to tire pressure from rim to ground is about half an inch. If there is a particular angle you would like to see though, i'd be more than happy to see if I can get a good shot of it. I'll try to pump the tires up right now and report back.

        I resolved the issue. As I released the handbrake to drive it to the nearest air pump, the car shot up like a trampoline!

          Weird, you ought to look in to what was causing that spring to bind or what debris was jammed in a spring that prevented it from compressing.

            ... it was his rear trailing arms doing different things based on twist from the wheels...
