Front driver's side shock angled?
 

I just installed Hotchkis lowering springs by following the DIY guide on the forums a couple weeks ago. When I was driving today, I heard a clunk and wasn't sure if that was my suspension making that noise or if I ran over something.
So, I checked out my shocks and struts all around and noticed that my front driver's shock is angled more than my passenger side's shock.
Is this normal or do I need an alignment?
I may be imagining things, but my steering feels less tight and responsive.

Umm check the top hat bolts to make sure they were torqued down and seated properly. Make sure the springs are seated correctly to.

When you say angled, do you mean that the lower portion of the damper is sitting more forward than the top? If so, that is caster angle. Not sure why one would be different than the other unless a bushing went bad in the front lower control arm. But I would just double check everything like Feldy suggested and see if you can find anything that looks out of place.

Hope this helps.
Thanks,

and yes you do need an alignment after installing lowering springs. your toe will be wacky...

maybe if you have camber bolts, it was not tightened enough and ended up being out of set angle and moving back and forth causing clunks?

If a strut is visibly angled (in any direction) more than the opposite side, you have bent something.

In other words, it's totalled.

Bro.

I think I am good now. I jacked up the front and loosened and retightened the strut tower nuts, the top hat nut, and the strut bolts/nuts to the factory specs.
My car feels normal now, and thank you for all your input.
