So my lower control arm/ball joint FELL out of the knuckle. Apparently the bolt broke and fell out of the knuckle that pinches the ball joint. Anybody have this happen to them because of being too low? Car is maxed out on Ksport coils with all the lockrings still in the front.

So i took my lock rings and perch out of the rear, and now the left rear sits lower that the right rear and this is without me in the car. Is this common or what

all of my measurements are at the exact same height on both sides and it still leans. Ive switched out the springs in the rear and moved them to the opposite side and nothing. guess you could always remove a ring on the right and keep it in on the left then it will be even...

Never said it was anything more or less, just stated the page was missing stance, due to the lack of pictures....


Hopefully mine will be similar to this soon but black

when u dropped it did the spring miss its mark?

i know if when i raise the rear and drop it without the correct preload the spring doesnt always catch or ummm sit like the other side

happened once when i got my tires rotated at American tire, walked out saw the right rear higher so had the guy raise it and i punched the spring in place

and happened when i raised the car at home, jacked it down and the right spring missed the hole hahaha
