Hi Everyone. A little update. So we did an inspection and all the bushings and ball joints etc. were nice and tight. To rule out tires, swapped my new set to the car with no change. We noticed that the car sits 5mm lower on the left, my Boxster is dead on both sides. I video chatted with a buddy here who is an alignment specialist during the inspection and while reviewing the print out from the alignment shop, he noticed the camber was at the far end of the adjustment limit so he had us do some real time adjustments to the left strut only (since the car will still have to go back to the shop) and we got the car to track pretty straight. At least it's drivable. Funny thing is that no matter what we did, the right side would compensate and remain 5mm higher.
So tires are good, bushings and ball joints good, no sign of any accidents (but who knows if a random curb was hit) so that points us to weak struts (not leaking), sagging springs, strut bearings, and the like. Before we just go out and spend a bunch of money and waste a lot of time, anyone have any tips on what to check? Just want to get it back to stock.
