Hey guys,
So, my rear suspension was recently replaced (axle housing, driver side axle, shocks, springs, etc.) because of an accident I had about a month ago.
The car is finally finished, I went and took a look at it today. I noticed a few things while inspecting, which I'm hoping you guys will say it's "normal" or to be expected so I can sleep well tonight
Two major things I noticed.
The driver side spring and shock were replaced, so the car is sitting about 3 finger gaps higher than the passenger side (original spring and shock were reused on pass. side). Would the spring settle as much as 3 finger gaps?
Also, driver side wheel is sticking out about 1" outward from the fender, while the passenger side is about 1" inside the fender. Now I can't remember if it was off-centered before the accident, but i was told no body and suspension mounting point damages were observed by the shop. I guess this could also be from the uneven spring gaps.
And if you guys could list things that I should be keeping an eye -and ear- on, it would be greatly appreciated!
