Uneven Rear Wheel Gap

[Albertcado]

Stock suspension and wheels, Steeda IRS subframe alignment kit installed, and the passenger rear wheel gap is 1/4 inch higher than the driver side rear. It's enough that it's quickly noticeable when you look at the car from the side. I can't remember if the gap was inconsistent when I first bought the car. The reason I had the subframe alignment kit installed in the first place was I had lowering springs on, and then I went back to stock springs. Knowing the subframe was moved and the wheels were not centered in the wheel well, I had the alignment kit put on to correct subframe position to factory, and have it in there for the future if I decide to lower again. But I have no idea how the one rear side is noticeably higher than the other.

Any thoughts? Could it be something to do with how the stock suspension/springs were put back on?
Do you need to reclock the bushings even when "raising" the car back to stock springs or is that just when lowering?
I was wondering if that could be the cause of the one side not settling down properly on the stock suspension.

I don’t know much about suspension but if you lowered your car before you had to reclock the bushing and if you raised it but only one side was reclocked but not the other one that would be your by issue

Others may want to chime in here, but I think the feeling is that the body doesn’t necessarily line up with a great deal of precision.
