1998 Civic Suspension Issue Help
I have a 1998 Civic EX Coupe, and a few months back, I had the front passenger side wheel come off while I was driving, broke two studs, so I got those replaced, and replaced the wheel bearing, as well as have done the tie rod and lower ball joint on that passenger side. When I’m driving, it seems to feel as if there’s a bit of sway, or general loose feeling of some kind in the handling of the car. I jacked it up and tried to move each wheel on the car, and there was no movement on any wheel, neither side to side or up and down, and in the front, the ball joints aren’t loose, the tie rods don’t have any looseness or play, and the steering wheel itself feels fine. I did notice recently that it looks kind of like the wheels don’t all rest at the same height when it’s on the ground. I have 16” wheels in the front, and 17” in the back, front tires are 205/55r16 and back is 205/50r17, and tread depth is similar from right to left or any difference is negligible. However, the front left was sitting lower than front right by maybe 1/4 inch and the back left was a bit more than that lower than the back right. Was hoping someone could maybe think of what that might be I should need to check and replace. I was thinking perhaps the springs, jug I'm not so sure either. Hopefully someone has some good thoughts for me on this. Thanks guys.

Something might be bent, or maybe broken springs, alignment shop can tell you if something is bent
