front suspension

[jammin]

OK. I just installed ready mount gabriel struts, complete, new control arms, all new bushings/poly and I have a problem. The right side is 1/2 in higher then left.....what do I do to fix this?

First ensure that the two front struts are properly installed and inserted the same amount in the knukles. There is an alignment tab on the inboard side of the strut where the mounting bolt attaches. The tab should be positioned such that the bolt passes through the rounded portion of the tab.

If that is satisfactory, the springs may be relaxed to different heights and would have to be replaced to correct the problem.

IIRC there was a different top mount that sat the spring different to keep it from rubbing in the strut tower. Maybe you have one regular and one "updated" one?
