Uneven Trailing Arms

My driver side trailing arm is raised higher than the passenger side.Even with all wheels off and coilovers off, the driver trailing arm still sits higher than passenger trailing arm It causes my driver rear wheel to be higher than the passenger rear.

What caused this and how do i make them even, or lower the trailing arm so its even with the passenger?

You noted youre on C/o's which I figured had something to do w/the complaint. What is the diff in height in inches?
What about your rear sway bar mounts? Are they tight /worn

If you disconnect the RSB mounts can you articulate both control arms freely

Keep in mind the EVO must be on a very flat pad for a proper ride height measurement. Minor diff in fender gap is normal

If i remember correctly, the driver trailing arm is 10 inches off the ground, the passenger trailing arm is 9 inches off the ground. I measured from the middle point of the trailing arm. I am not talking about the control arms. Trailing arms and control arms are 2 different things. Unless your saying the control arms and rear sway bars affect the height of the trailing arm.

My rear left wheel gap is 3/8" lower than the rear right wheel gap. OEM Bilstein MR suspension wit Swift Spec-R springs. What was the outcome?
