Hey there,

Recently i got new suspension on the front.

Now ive noticed that the car feels a little bit off and hanging to the left (almost not noticable but my OCD does ;) )

I checked under the hood and noticed that (dont know how they are called, see pic) are not on the same height. Can that cause the feeling im getting?

I outlinded the 'things' i mean:

Edit: This is not my car btw, can upload a pic of mine ofcourse.

Can i fix this myselfe, any advice?

Thanks!

Different distances there can be caused by bad strut top mounts.
BUT:
-it's normal to have a small space between the strut tower and the rubber/steel washer.
-make sure you measure the distance with the car on a flat road, with the wheels pointing straight.

You could replace them yourself... but it's pretty involved.. requires removing the whole strut/spring assembly; removing the spring, replacing the topmount, putting it back together and installation.
If you're unlucky the ARB links can be rusted in place...and would require cutting.

If you don't have the spring compressors, don't bother, get a garage to do it.
