i cant figure this out.. i did a rebuild on my front end a few months ago. i replaced the rear with a 12 bolt at the same time . .now i just looked at my car from behind looking at the exhaust pipes and the car seems to be tilting more to the passenger side by a few inches.its like angled down more on the passenger side.. it seems to be the body i think. i didnt do anything with the body itself so im kinda concerned. would this possibly be a shock that is maby stuck or somethin?would a bad coil spring make this happen? body mount maby fell out?. i got no clue ..please any help would be great ..
thx

did you make sure to seat all the springs in the spring pockets? When you tightened all the suspensuion bolts ( the ones that hold the a arms and rear control arms was the car sitting level on the ground/lift with the weight of the car resting on the suspension at regulat ride height?

If these are correct maybe you did loose a body bushing or something else, was it level before you changed anything? Was it level after you first finished the upgrade?

Hope that helps, I am sure someone else might have some ideas.
