just replaced my shocker top (bearing) on passenger side and now the height of car on passenegr side front seems higher than driver side..

will this go lower after it starts getting used or should i change both of them?

looks odd since my car is lowered..

Shouldn't be any higher, check the spring is seated correctly

I always had this (slighty) with my old 1.6 on an Apex kit, theres more weight on the drivers side you've got to remember. It wasn't a big difference though.

The spring is easy to check to see if it's seated properly, you just need a torch then you'll see where it is supposed to be.

You stould always replace both sides at once did you use proper rebnault replacment parts?

Difference in height should be no more than 5mm a side.
