I just installed new springs, struts/shocks, energy spring bushings, all the way around on my 5.0. My problem now is the car is leaning on the driver side about a 1/4 inch it seems that therearis the problem. I clocked the rear springs to face the driver side so most of the meat of the springsare on the lower control arm which I read is the best thing to do.The only thing I did not replace are the quad shocks they do seem to be weak I am stumped on this one I know for a fact the rear control arm are not bent I even switched the rear springs out left to right and still the same thing so its not a bad spring either HELP please, Matt

are they seated in the same spots on the control arm pockets??....did you but the springs side by side before install and make sure they were the same height and no manufactorer defects at all??

i jst finished the same job but added new lca and found 1 of my front springs was upside down
(previous *** owner) not that u did but i would re-check the seating of the fronts one side could be pushing up causing the rear to drop.

yeah i put them in originally with the stock bushings then bought the energy suspension bushings thinkin that was it but no and how in the world would they get the springs in upside down that would almost be impossible

are you sure your car is on level ground? if there is any kind of change on the ground it will show it on your car drasticly

I would reccomend orienting the rear springs with the ends of the spring pigtails pointed towards the rear of the car. This is how most mfgrs tell you to set up the rear springs when you install them. BTW, you did not mention the brand of springs.
