Ride height ?

Ok so my car was sitting low in the back right, thought maybe the strut or spring. i just installed coilover and evenly set it still sits lower in the back right. Even on the lift the tire to fenders lower on the right. What the f*** can this be? My car was backed into at rolling speed at the back left wheel. The car aligns and drives, never had a problem aligning. Me and my friend used a pry bar on the right side somethings loose the whole rotor can go up and down a little compared to the left side

Not sure what you mean by the whole rotor can go up and down a little?

Any chance your sway bar is bent? I can't think of what else would cause this...

In other words with the car up on a lift and the wheel off using a pry bar the whole right side suspension has more play when prying in comparison to the left which feels tighter. Something is failing on the right side.

wheel bearings, ball joint, bushings; any of those could cause the wheel to be loose like you're describing

.
that can be a issue, but you had better check the trailing arm ball joint where it attaches to the hub carrier. It is not replaceable if bad ( any movement at all in the joint ), you have to order the whole arm. Be sure to replace the front bushings with ES ones if you buy a used one that the ball joint is is good nick

This is what the shop and my friend said it might be. The shop did not seem to confident saying this would affect the ride height thats why im asking. Im not losing sleep if these bushings dont fix the clunk noise or the height im aligning it anyway.
