Just replaced drivers side Stock half shaft with a gt350 half shaft.
Also installed bmr diff insert, only the back 2.
Also installed viking b258 shocks.

My driver side rear bushing was pretty torn up.

Recently noticed my drivers side is 3/4 inch lower than passenger side rear.

Other suspension components I already had installed before this issue came up: bmr vertical links, bmr cradle lock out L2, godspeed adjustable upper control arms, and steeda progressive springs.

Have you driven it yet to let it settle? You by chance didn’t disturb the springs during the installation of the parts did you?

I've driven on it a week or so. I didn't touch the springs when installing anything as far as I know... but when changing the half shaft, some of the suspension needs to come apart...

I jacked it up and removed the rear wheels today, checked everything was torqued down and dropped it back down. Initially the drop looked fine, but when I did a quick test drive, it settled right back down.

Getting an alignment tomorrow, hoping they can see something while it's on the rack.

that has nothing to do with the diff bushing.

if a spring rubber isolator isn't sitting right it can do stuff like that. i'd inspect the installation.

also, if you still have stock control arm bushings those need to all be torqued to spec while on all 4 wheels.
