this previous year i was driving in a parking lot and was going kind of fast and hit a water puddle going around a curve, only to slide straight in the curve and smack a curb on the passenger side....all the passenger side suspension got replaced except upper A-arm and i stuck the old strut back in...this side seems to ride higher than the driver side ..but the driver side takes bumps harder...i was wondering if maybe something got put in upside down or if something could be still bent?...maybe i need to replace my driver side strut is the reason it rides lower and more harsh? but i figured the passenger side would be busted if anything...i also have a camber kit install (ingalls) and a thought crossed my mind that maybe the camber on the passenger side is sat more straight than the driver side?...one more thing is that when i turn hard right and then back to straight either sitting still or moving...there is a screeching noise that sounds like metal rubbing metal on the passenger side...i was wondering if maybe this could be a tie rod that needs lube or the sheild behind the rotor rubbing something? i just wanted to add that on top of my crookedness...if anyone has any ideas, please throw them at me.

anyone?

Your shock probably needs replacement. Are you still on the stock one? There is also more weight on the driver's side, due to the placement of the motor, and you.

Maybe the strut was broken? Is the difference noticable, because it's normal for the Passenger side to sit a little higher then the driverside. Have you gotten an alignment? Don't know what the scraping could be

Hope that helps

well the shop that put all the new suspension on the pass replaced the strut too, but it still sat higher than it used to ..so i put the old one when i wrecked back on...yeah its noticeable..but maybe the driver side one is the one that needs replaced...its the only one that even takes bumps or anything...i still have a feeling that something on the passenger side isnt on right.

as far as the noise i am hearing on that side...is it possibly that the rotor shield could be rubbing anything when i turn?
