So recently I had my upper A arms front and rear replaced along with upper shock mounts front and rear on my 2005 STR. It looks like to me that the front is too high on both sides and the rear too high on the passenger side. I brought them the parts, Lemforder arms and KYB shock mounts. What would change ride height, is the spring not in the mount right or is the A arm not set up right?
The shop also replaced both rear sway bar end links and I provided them Moog parts for this. I was surprised today when I looked underneath and saw the Moog on the passenger side and what looks like a different but new part on the driver side. The Moog part has grease fittings and a thicker rod on it the other side does not.
The problem with this indy shop is that the owner does not do most of the work anymore, he hires young mechanics.

 

They probably tightened down the bolts for the arms while the car was in the air with the tires pulling the arms down. So they loaded up the suspension and probably ruined the bushings.

The parts should be torqued down with the weight of the car on the wheels so the arms are in their normal driving position.

 

To see how far out it is the ride height as measured from the centre of the wheel to the apex of the wheel arch, through the wheel centre line for an STR with a full tank of fuel should be:
Front: 386mm
Rear: 378mm
+ or – 15mm
