front is uneven after Tokico Illuminas

like i said up top i just swapped the two front springs/struts and got the same result. so those are fine. what do i look for as far as damaged control arms ect.. they look all good and intact.

Un-hook your swaybars and drive around and coast to a stop then check.

Can you explain please why this would do anything? interested? thanks for your help through all this by the way.

Because the sway bar could be pre-loading your suspension on one side.

Glad you found the problem! After pics?

Also, got any pics of the damaged bushing? It's interesting how much of a difference it made.

 

[mitsubishi9908]

the bushing actually does not look bad, it did on the car but with no weight on it you cant see anything.
