Uneven Height Ride 200 Civic HB
Hey HT
i recently put Disk brake on my 2000 civic hatch. My friend and I, did not really know how to do it, so we ended up taking off the whole control arm. We managed to get everything back on, and working, but now my car height is uneven. My passenger side is slightly higher then my driver side in the rear, and a bit in the front. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Post pictures. Nothing wrong with taking off control arms, but it sounds like your installation is messed up somewhere. Did you re-use your old suspension and control arms, etc?
Why is the front higher on one side when the rear disc changes nothing in the front?

yea we reused the stock control arm, and suspension. i believe since the back is a bit higher, it took some pressure off the front? sorry if that didn't make much sense. i do not have much experience in this field.
the only pictures i can take are the height differences. ill get on that tonight

did you happen to install one of the struts into the sway bar hole on the control arm? that would cause one side to be higher than the other.

2) Failure to correctly clock the bushings during reinstall could cause the car to lean even more. It will also cause premature wear on the bushings, as they stretch/tear to accommodate their new orientation...
