Heres the deal:



I swaped the stock strut and spring assembly and sway bars front and rear from one TII with the aftermaket spring and strut assembly and sway bars from another TII





They both sat fine and level before and now the one I put the aftermarket stuff on sits level.



The one that now has stock suspension sits high on the driver front and looks like it has positive camber. I just took off the front sway bar and let it down and still the same problem!!!!!!!!!!





Help! some one!

The spring has probably twisted in the perch at the bottom, gonna have to get the tools out again.

So there is a certain way the spring sits on the pearch in the bottom? like its up on the knotch that the end of the spring goes against?

actually, to be more specific, it has to sit in the perches correctly at the bottom and the top. The bottom should be easily visible, the end of the spring should come right up against the perch/shock. The upper is a little more tricky as you really can't see it when it's installed. The rubber "cup" or "cap" has a similar groove and the spring needs to rest in it, in the right way to seat correctly

also the strut top isnt square, the shock isnt centered in the middle, so you can rotate the thing and get a little more negative camber, you want the shock to be in the rear closer to the center of the car
