OK to have things cleared... the INSTALL are perfect.

something is wrong with my right rear side..
please do not jump to conclusiion... b/c my buddy is a mechanic.. and when u diss the installer u diss me as well....... so dont think i took it to some random joe blow!

my conclusion is:

could the camber be out so bad that its not sitting straight up?

i dont know what it is, but i know my SIR struts would be better use then this ****.

p.s my left rear is fine.

With a drop as low as your's, the stock struts would be gone in no time flat. It's not the camber or the struts, it's the drop for sure.

its not the drop cause mine is lower on the same shocks... if anything it might be the spring rates not being high enough for the drop...

but then again why only the right shock would go is weird too i installed all mine and have had zero complaints

having a mechanical aptitude tho, after some kind of a "checking things out" i could probably come up with a culprit
