I changed my lower control arms today. I had to pull the axle forward with a come along to get them in. When I did it pulled the suspension down, compressed the spring. I tightened the passenger arm way to much with a impact while the come along was still cranked down. When I was done I noticed the passenger side was sitting about 1 1/2 inches lower. Is it possible that I torqued the arm to much while the spring was compressed and it is holding the spring down? Yea I will try to loosen them and retorque them but it was 8.6 degrees when I started this project today so I might not get to it for awhile.

did it sit lower on the ground or in the air?
sounds like you need some track bar adjustments to me?

On the ground. I changed them with it sitting on the ground. I have a adjustable track bar but the axle appears to be centered. Could it be causing one side to be lower?

Guess I didn't get lucky. Retorqued all bolts to 85 ft lbs. Front is with in 1/8 inch of being perfectly centered. Still sits 1 1/2 inches lower on passenger front. Measured the front springs, installed. Driver 14 1/2 inches. Passenger 13 inches. Guess my RC springs have sagged in two years.
