Default 2cm lean!

hey guys, i did a search to no avail. i changed my passenger side lower ball jt and noticed that that side is 2cm higher than the right. i measured at the bottom of the front bumper on each side. i am not sure if it was like this before i did the swap or not. i torqued the bolts to spec. are these supposed to be pressed in?
thanks in advance

well my battery is front driverside and thats where it is sagging so ill just blame it on that eventhough ive never heard of a car that sags like that because of battery weight. might be time for removal-of-battery and re-measure test to confirm. new springs? ha! maybe obama will provide them for me instead of some health coverage!

This same issue has been bothering the hell out of me. I have never been able to figure it out. The front left sits noticably lower than the front right . So what is it, the battery?

since yours is on the passenger side does the passenger side sit lower than the drivers?
