car leans
Has anyone had problems with there car leaning? Mine is leaning towards the passanger side. The right rear fender is 1/2 lower then the left rear. The car is on level ground. I have drop zone springs, new shocks, adjustable panhard bar. Is it posible to have a bad shock that could cause it. Cause when I put the new shock in I was questioning it to begin with.

Probably just heavier on the passendger side, you do have the spare and everything in that quarter panel.
I doubt that the shock would affect this, it's usually springs or endlinks. If one of your springs is indexed incorrectly, it will sit lopsided, so recheck everything. Alternately, if one of your endlinks is broken, that could cause a slight lean in the car as well.

On the front springs the end of the spring has to sit inbetween the two holes in the back of the a arm. Other wise it will sit lope sided.

The new shocks cured this.
