Default I'm baffled....Help !

I lowered my car to just whatever height the stock bolt will allow. After turning the bolt all the way on the front end on both side, I noticed the height is markedly different much lower on driver side. In the back it's just the opposite. Drove around hundreds of miles, NO diff. I had hope it would equalize somewhat after the suspension settle down.
I then attempted to raise the driver side back up. NO luck, it won't go up. I keep turning the bolt ( driver side ) until it is now at the
original factory setting but the driver side is still much lower than the passenger, this even after I cut 1/3 of the bushing on the passenger side.
I was able to get the rear to approximate somewhat.
The front end baffle me , ANY IDEAS ??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Yea - mine did the same to me and if you can - put a jack under the arm and make the suspension flex ALL THE WAY to it will help it settle. Mine settled only after many miles on the road.. (hard turns etc)

Good luck! :thumbs:

When I first lowered the car it took around 300 miles for it to settle completely.
