My steering wheel is straight, and the alignment is good, but when looking at my dash, it has a lean down towards the passenger side.
I also noticed that my driver's side headlight is brighter than the passenger's, leading me to believe it's angled upwards. I noticed that while driving behind someone, the ride seems rough on the driver's side, feeling the roughness of the roads in the steering wheel, and the sound is loud.
Any help is appreciated, as I don't know what to look for to check the installation and have no idea how to tell if the spring is upside down on one side. I plan on DIYing the fix if possible because of the cost I've already had to spend, and clearly, the shop I took it to isn't capable of figuring it out.

See my post above. Check to see if both springs are seated properly. The top and bottom ends of the coil will butt up against rubber stops on their respective spring isolators. Also check to see if both shocks are into the knuckle an equal distance.
If you take pictures of both sides, we may be able to point something out.
