Rear Suspension Lean Help

Recommended Posts

I had this problem when I first purchased the car and I thought it was the struts. The rear drivers side is lower then passenger side. I have the coilovers set at the same levels and there is about 3/4 of an inch difference between the two sides. I thought I have read that other people have had this problem but have not found a solution. I hope the pictures help.

Those tires are just rollers. You can see the damage the car sustained here

I was talking with a guy that has 4 of these cars and he said that most all of them had the same problem but he didon't know what it was. I guess it could be a bent subframe. I'll have to pull it.

I have exactly the same issue. 3/4" to an inch higher on the passenger side of the car both front and back with identical suspension. It took a lot of difference in the coilovers to get it to sit evenly. Although my car has a salvage title from some pretty bad front end damage back in the late 80's

Possibly rear control arm bushings....if the bushings are toast they tend to "freeze up" in both the differential and frame crossmembers and do not allow full travel up and down of the control arm...
