weird one for you guys. my mustang has developed a little height issue on the drivers side. it looks a little lower than the driver side today almost looks like the tire is "tucked in" i have FP magneride lowering springs, FP sway bar, and a BMR k brace up front with all about 10k miles in them. everything has been normal till i noticed it today. doesnt make any clunking sounds or anything dont see any rubbing on the tires. havent been able to get under it to see if anythings weird. magneride seems to work find and i dont have any lights indicating about a magneride fault. kinda at a loss here.

Measure first. Could just be the sun and camera perspective messing with you.

Measure from the wheel opening down to the center cap to a void any tire pressure or ground weirdness. It could be a spring relaxing, but that would be unusual.

i will have to measure again. i measured from the bottom of the tire to the top if the fender and its about 1/4 inch shorter on the driver side. ill measure from the center of the wheel when i get home. the psi on all tires are the same. i am slo going to measure the camber as well to see if thats whats causing it

1/4" is nothing.

It's your weight settling the suspension on the driver's side.

How much do you weigh?

Are you on a flat ground side to side ? It will affect ride height difference from side to side. If everything inside look fine, one of the bushings binding may be a culprit (if you still have bushings).

they all should be stock bushings. i did clock them when we lowered the car. it visually looks the same on 3 different surfaces ive tried on so far.

just an update for you guys i did use a Clinometer on both front coners and the camber on the driver side has a full 1 degree differential compared to the passenger. im going to start there and figure out if that helps at all
