front suspension help

I noticed a couple things today on my front suspension(95 camaro z28, stock suspension). The gap inbetween the top of the tire and bottom of the fender on the drivers side is about an inch bigger than the gap on the passenger side. If you look at how the front of the car sits, you can see the passenger side sits lower than the driver side. I can also see that the spring on the passenger side is compressed more than the driver side. I also noticed that when I push down on the driver side front suspension, it is very stiff. I can just barely push the car down. Now when I do this on the passenger side front and even on either sides of the rear, it seems alot easier to push down on the car. Its not nearly as stiff as the driver side front. I just replaced some suspension parts on the driver side front also. I dont know if it was like this before I did the work but could I have done something wrong or should I just not worry about it? Can anyone tell me whats goin on with this? Thanks.

Re: front suspension help

What did you change on the driver's side?

A faulty shock is likely the source of the stiffness difference from side to side.

I replaced the lower a-arm on that side and the k-member.
