Hey guys I own a 68 chevelle and I pulled it out of storage the other day and I noticed that the car is not sitting straight in the rear end it is leaning a lot What do you think could be causing this?? Broken spring?? blowen shock?? It also feels very sloppy and makes a lot of clungging noises when you drive over the driveway curbe?? I do have a set of new springs for the back that I bought from hotckis sitting in the box um is there any kind of rubber mount that needs to be replaced were the spring sits on the frame??? Thanks for the help!!

yes there is a rubber sound absorber
and it sounds like new springs might help
did you crawl under and take a look
the gas tank is nearby and if something is loose or broke you would not want it to hit the tank

No I did not look yet but I think I am just going to put in the new springs and buy some new kyb shocks for it and see what happens I think that its a broken spring or shock because you can notice the leaning real bad one tire is the wheel well and the other is not.
