Message	I know they shouldn't be related if the length of the Z1 arms are identical. Here is what I did: Removed lower control arms, replaced bushings with ES poly. Removed stock control arms and replaced with Z1 arms. Removed about 1/3" of preload on my coilovers. I installed a new set of wheels that are 17" RPF1. My passenger tire gap between fender is 1" less than driver side... maybe 1.25" less. I double checked both coilovers.... the spring length (of whatever I preloaded) and then total length, and they look to be within 0.1" of eachother. Also, while up in the air, I checked gap between top of the rotor and the fender and the passenger side looks like it is 1" shorter or less than the driver side. Anyone have any ideas what is up? I find this really strange. Could the tightening of the lower control arm nuts while sagging in the air cause a problem?

Inner sleeve was the only thing longer... - evan_aggie 14:23:09 12/26/14 Typical polyurethane bushings can be torqued down in the air - flashstar 17:28:41 12/26/14 What about his lower control arms?
