car sits 3/4 inch lower on pass. front ( help?) just bought the car a month ago. noticed it sat 3/4" to 1" lower on the passenger front, and it rubbed. it had eibach goldlines in it. just today had new hotchkis springs and new struts installed and is still leaning on that side. the lip of the wheel is scraped up so it looks like the previous owner hit a curb with it. what could this be? something bent? does anyone know someone i can call?
any input would be appreciated

Put the driver on a diet ??Seriously though... where in SoCal are you ?? I know of a few shops that can give you an honest opinion and not charge you for the look-see.....

I hit a curb a few months back........
check list.........
1 check the wheel hub bearing assembly for not play
2 check the front lower control arm and ball joint, you wont kno if its damaged unless u try a new one
3 check the k member, tho the stock one is strong its possible to have it kink
4 make sure your suspension alignment is correct
for me it was the bearing, lower control arm ball joint and I have a kinked k member. just enuff to give me a 1/4 diff on the drivers side..........
Ive replaced all except the k member
i'm waiting on a good deal on a used k member or maybe sum reviews on the new umi peice.

Guess I shoulda puta" /scarsm on" switch in that last post....
If you can make it to San Bern.... 655 South Lincoln Ave / San Bernardino Ca. 92408.... go see Steve or Doug at Global West.
Or Ole Dickiepoo.... 912 Chestnut St / Burbank, CA 91506..... at Guldstrand (the godfather of F-body motor sports).
Everyone else I know is on the westside of the 405.
