Old springs & shocks being used with new springs & shocks

Hey guys

My car is coming back from the shop very soon but I was wondering if there was going to be a problem with the suspension since one my entire left suspension was replaced.

Assuming that the alignment and setup is all done correctly, will there still be a problem maybe because the left setup is brand new and the right hand side is the original factory ones?

I guess I won't be able to tell till I drive it but I just want to get an idea before hand.

I also don't track my car.

if they are all stock it shouldnt be problem... mite just mean the new side will eventually settle to same as the old side

if u were going to tell us u had stock shocks and aftermarket parts then thats a different issue.

I would guess from your join date, that your car is reletively new. If that is the case, I would agree with MissyK. Ideally you should replace them in pairs, but it shouldn't be a problem if the car is new.
