Default Front Suspension Uneven...

My 1994 Accord seems to really sag on one side of the front suspension. I have coilovers and I find myself putting the rings all the way to the top on the coils on that side that sags and about halfway through the rings on the coil on the other side. When I purchased the vehicle it was completely stock and im sure it was never messed around with because I bought it from an ex military dude that was like 35yrs old. It used to squeak on that sagging part as well and come to find out it was because a bushing was missing from the passanger front link of the stabilizer bar. It stopped squeaking and it kind off brought that sagging side. Now my question is, what is causing this uneveness on my front suspension? Should I replace the whole front stabilizer assembly, and does the stabilizer bar control how the front is leveled or not? or is it due to another reason?

Could it possibly be that particular coilover?

no, because the car was slightly lower on one side with stock springs

Damn, I think if you're gonna change the whole assembly, would it be better to change both sides in one shot? Maybe find the front assembly from an Acura CL coupe or something like that?

Could be a bent arm or something, personally I'd just compensate with the coilovers to make the ride height the same - assuming nothing looks out of place and your tires are not wearing unevenly.

thats what ive been doing but the other day i got a fix it and i tried lifting it and it wont go too much higher due to that sagging side not lifting enough. The other side could be lifted almost to stock height. im going to get tein ss full coils later on, hopefully those have more height adjustability. So anymore ideas on what it could be? Thanks
