Was the car on flat level ground and car evenly loaded when you did this?
In my case, just had indie go over this last week when I had it in to replace all 6 subframe bushings, where he found one front strut totally seized up like the internals came apart and a broken rear spring on the driver side. It made horrible sounds when raising and lowering the car on the hyd. lift. 04 Aero with 119k on it. I was between 1.25 - 1.50" low all the way around. So I ordered four new FSD's and OEM springs as well as some GS spacers for the rear (planning the inevitable). Probably will use the upper perch setting in rear. Already have the Powerflex subframe bushings and just replaced the front swaybar end links a few weeks ago. We will address any other bushings needed when things come apart. Then realign when all is done. Have new tires with less than 1k on them so no damage to them yet.
My wallet will be lighter for sure, but the car should drive like new again. With the wobbly subframe bushings, I am thinking that I should have held off on the motor mounts till now, but the two uppers were falling apart and torque rod was shot, and my motor was sitting about 3/4" too low. Probably stressed the new mounts out badly with the bad subframe bushes.
