rear is leaning on pass. side
What would cause the rear passenger side to lean about an inch lower than the driver's side? I've already replaced the springs with new oem springs. There is an aftermarket panhard bar on the rear that came on the car when I got it. I'm putting new kyb gr2 gas shocks on it next week, and getting the front end aligned. I just hope it's not a twisted frame. Thanks for the help

Lose the "hefty" chick...
Seriously, how many miles on the car? Any accidents? Your springs may be shot...due to the "hefty" chick.
LOL, Ed

There was a light accident on the front, I don't think it messed up the frame, it damaged the radiator support alittle and thats about it.
So if I put the hefty chick in the driver's seat for a few days, things will even out?
I changed the springs already, changing the shocks next week.My dad said he thinks it could be a broken shock mount. I doubt it but I'm running out of possibilities.

Shock mounts are easy to check, look there first. Did you lower the car with the new springs? If so, did you get a pan-hard rod?
Did yall read my first post? I put factory hieght springs on the car.
The after market pan hard rod came on the car when I got it. Thinking about hitting a junkyard and getting a factory panhard rod just to see if thats the culprit.

I seriously doubt the shocks would have any effect on ride hieght. All they do is dampen the bumps...the springs "set" the car on the ground. I'd check to make sure you have all of them seated properly in the buckets and perches. Maybe you don't have one of the fronts indexed right.
