My front passenger side is lower than my front driver side by like an inch even after getting an alignment. I have replaced lower control arms (moog) , shocks (blinsteins) ,bumprstops (zq8) inner tie rod, outer tie rod with the hotchkis tie rod sleeves, idler and pitman arm.
I had made sure to sit the springs in place while replacing my control arms so I am certain it is not the springs. I am suspecting my sway bar to be a little bent towards the passenger side. Also the height difference is about an inch,
has anybody ran into this problem?
I havent found a post talking about the front suspensions sagging only for the rear if there is one please attach the link

I only see the car sagging from the front passenger. I did a walk around and the back is fine. I also noticed that my passenger side bump stop is touching the frame while the driver side has about a finger of space.

With the car safely on jack stands loosened the lower control arms at the frame, then using a jack, safely lift the vehicle with the jack under each control arm, you’ll know when the vehicle has full weight on the control arms when you see a gap on the jack stands then torque the lower control arms, repeat on the other side. You can leave shocks installed.

If you do not have access to a lift, you can put it on jackstands, and jack each wheel until the frame lifts slightly off of the respective jackstand, and then tighten that side.
