Default My car sits lower on the passenger side

I've been hitting potholes at streets of willow which is known to bend your rims. one day I went to westend and then the owner told me he can't get more than -1 camber on the passenger side. He told me either upper control arm, lower control arm, or knuckle is bent. but he couldn't really tell which one is bent. couple weeks ago i found out that both front and rear of the passenger side of my car is lower than the driver side. front was about half finger gap lower and rear was full finger gap lower.

which part do you guys think i bent?

suspension part of my car is 100% stock btw

I had that problem for a year. I replaced the rear subframe, lower contorl arm on that side, both shocks. No good.

Turns out it was frame damage. A frame guy did fix it, got it aligned close to spec, not perfect. But it's ok now, doesn't pull to the side or anything.

Ha, our cars are supposed to sit lower on the passenger side. Have someone sit in your drivers seat than check it, it will be even.
