When u replace one lower control amr, replace them both

I changed my passenger LCA, while doing my wheelbearings, but the dealer didnt have the drivers in stock, so i had to order it. i needed the car back together, so i put it back with one new LCA and the other is the stock one. well now cause the drivers lower ball joint is so worn out compared to the passenger, the drivers front sits an entire inch lower than the passenger side. so if ur gunna change one, change them both or ull be lopsided. now i gotta drive around liek this till i cna put the other one on next sat.

I get what you're saying but shouldn't the control arms be the same as stock? Is the lower ball joint boot ripped?

they are the same as stock, and no the ball joint boot isnt ripped, but is INSANLEY loose compared to the new one. it is causing the suspension to sag in my opinion.
