My car has been sat on the incorrect springs thanks to a Ford dealer fitting the wrong parts!!(They fitted lowering springs for a 1.6,1.8,2L NOT a V6!!) Here is the height difference between the passenger and drivers side:-

Passenger :-





Approx. 11mm!! What would be the implications of this? (With regards to tyre wear and wear on other components)

I guess this explains the cars wayward handling??!! Thanks for any advice/help.ps,the springs were fitted years ago-'December '98 to be exact!!

my front sits that far off in front right now, i'm investigating on saturday, but i'm fairly certain the spring isn't seated correctly on the top mount.
