Default Car not sitting even.

Hey everyone, i just bought a 93 Si hatch and I just noticed it now but the front passenger side is sitting maybe an inch or so higher then the rest of the car. It just has skunk 2 lowering springs on it as well. What could the problem be? Also the car is on a level surface at all times.

I'm guessing you didn't ask about that before you bought it?

I didnt notice it at the time of purchase. Tires are just about the same. and would a bad bushing really cause an inch or more of height difference?

an inch seems like alot for a bad bushing, but you never know. jack it up and take a look at all of them. probably been in an accident at some point if everything checks out.

The title is clean though. Could a fender bender cause enough damage for that too happen?

You won't know until you climb under there and start inspecting components.
