Its always best, if you have the time, to walk away sometimes and chill a bit. Then you go back with a different attitude and approach and a lot of times its easier.

Its not low its just the angle of the picture plus she was accelerating and going around a corner at the same time. It sits level.

And call the Murano what you will but I don't pay a dime to drive it anywhere I go so you won't here me complain.

I don't feel any less manly or less straight while driving it! You apparently now have a homophobia issue on top of the little man complex that we already knew about though huh!!

Well. When i put the control arm in place (dont tighten anything) and put the spring on against it and jack it up, it doesnt move into place like the pass side did. Try it with the control arm, and try to compress the spring using a jack or the weight of the vehicle, it either doesnt compress enough, or the control arm is completely out of line and cant move it to get it into place.... Even a BFH doesnt help. =\

Also tried two different spring compressors and neither worked.
