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

every LS is like that, roughly 3/8"-3/4" higher on the passenger side.

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?
