car leans towards drivers side(and not cause im a lard a**!!!!)
Hey guys.
Ihave an 83 camaro with a3054bbl with moderate mods. the guy who owned the car b4 me bent it and had it straightened and it seemed fine. After owning it for about a year with my new motor in it i noticed that it sits leaning to the left.(the drivers side sits lower in the rear.) i was told the car is bent again but i have also been told that the coil spring may have gone bad. they were only changed once in 87 so i k n ow they are really old. my question is are there any other signs to look for. the hatch is pretty straight(slightly off but it had bad struts and was held up with the ol broomstick for about 5 years so thatll throw it off. it shows no stress marks anywhere that i can see.
could it be something as simple as the spring???

You'll just have to yank the spring and find out, check the perches.
Maybe if you know someone that knows someone, you could have the frame checked on a frame-alignment machine.
The high-tech ones these days use lasers and **** for accuracy
