Uneven fender gap

[monsh]

Hi all,

i just changed my absorber all 4 for my corolla ae101.
the weird part is that before i change the absorbers, front part got around 1.5 fingers gap
behind around 1 finger gap.

after i change absorber(just to clarify, its new), the front driver side 0.5 finger and passenger side remain 1.5 fingers.

the behind driver side 0.5 finger and passenger side become 1.5 finger.

i was told its possibly the spring, but i wonder, how come before change no problem now problem come.

and someone told me camber and alignment setting must be done again but i went to tire shop they said that setting alignment and camber will not correct the ride height.

I don't want to spend my money on something that will not solve the problem, because i highly doubt its the spring.

what are the possibilities that could cause this? Please help guys. Now my front driver side daun pisang already torn because the tire hit it when going through wavy road and cornering.

i oso blur edi bro.
its custom made. but i made comparison with my previous absorber. the one i had 1 side already kong, no more dampening power, but still, the car wasn't uneven.

i highly suspect the foreman wrongfully installed the spring and absorber or the absorber fella, gave me wrong model. I'll check tonight with my brother in law and check physically.

problem solved. it was wrongly installed.
opened and experiment, found out spring was cut, so didnt follow actual top base.
after a few calculation, bla bla bla, put everything back in, now both part 1.5 fingers gap :)
