Default Help, I have a shock/strut problem.

Alright, today I finished installing a new cv axle on the passenger side of my 97 Accord and although it stopped making that clanking noise that it used to make when I turned, when I drive it now it seems to bounce up and down on that same side. I got off to see if anything was wrong and I noticed that that side is now lower than the drivers side, by a lot (about 2"). Did I screw up my strut (I jacked up the control arm when loosening the ball joint) or would it be something else, like a loose control arm?

Sounds like you blew out the seals on the right side strut. Further investigation is called for on your part.
