93 Honda Accord Ex , 2 door

I recently had my struts and shocks replaced and I noticed that the car is
sitting much higher than it use to, about 2 inches higher and I can also
can see a bar on top of both back tires that were not noticeable before.
Is it normal for this bar to be showing and should the car be sitting
higher than before? I have looked at other cars same make and model and I
haven't came across one with the gap between the tire and the body. Does
anyone what the problem can be?

 

the lower control arms are upside down.

 

When changing the shocks would they (Les Schwab)have had a reason to
remove or mess with the lower control arm?

 

because makes it a lot easier to get the shock out.

 

when I took it back they said that it is common on hondas to sit so high,
is there a way that I would be able to check it myself?

 

Could there be any damage caused by the lower control bar being put on
upside down?

 

id probably take the car in to a dealer or independant HONDA mechanic,
slip em a $20 and have em take a look. if its wrong, have the original
shop fix it, and give you your $20 back. they owe you that much.

 

sure, park it next to another civic of the same generation. the lower
arms have a "bend" in them. can't recall which way it goes, but if you
get your head down behind the two, you should see the difference.

 

not because of the positioning, but if they have that bit wrong, they
probably have the bushings tightened wrong as well. the suspension
needs to be assembled then tightened /after/ the vehicle has weight back
on the wheels again. if they're tightened before, the rubbers sit in a
strained position and quickly fatigue apart. then the suspension gets
real sloppy.
