What did I do wrong?
« on: 15 March 2011, 09:29 »
Hey guys,

I changed my wishbones this weekend and have noticed a few problems since.

The car is now sitting about an inch lower on the front right and there is also like a clunk that is intermittently happening when I turn the steering wheel to the left.

What have I done wrong?  :sad:

maybe the springs came out of alignment in the cups when the car was up in the air?

its no big deal, just jack it back up again and take a look. there is a ridge on the top and bottom cup where the ends of the spring seat. if its oem or lowered only a small amount then the springs probably havent moved as they're usually under tension. but if they're very low springs they may have shifted. also worth looking for any chunks of spring that may have snapped off, plus obv any other problems that are obvious
