   not gonna lie i got it off ebay, it doesnt bother me too much because i only just noticed it and it go through MOT no problem and it feels alot more stable and no clangs from it like my old one.

   Yeh will probably feel fine and a lot better than a fucked axle. It's obviously someone who cant read a tape measure when lowering

   The lower side looks like it has been done, higher one looks like normal height
