Default Out of Storage, Sitting wrong

So the weather has been nice here and I figured it would be safe to get out the car for the year after storing it in the garage.

As I let her warm up on the garage pad, I noticed the the driver's side of the car was sitting lower than the passenger side. Confusing.

There was no fluid on the floor of the garage so I did not leak aything. I don't store anything heavy in the car and all my tires have equal pressure.

Thoughts? Possible shock issue? A spring perhaps? It is sitting about 1" to 1.5" lower on the driver's side at the rear tire.

Have you put any miles on it since pulling it out of storage? She may just need to stretch her legs after sitting that long.

It's probably all those damn NVH blocks they slapped on there in the rear.



JK. Take Nuke's advice and go for a nice long drive.

It's very common for the air pressure in the tires to bleed off, which would lower the vehicle of course. Check the tire pressures.

Thanks everyone...you too Notty4.6 for the pan in the head thing. I have had it out for two days now. I will check tomorrow. It is going to snow again tomorrow night so it's back in the garage for a few days. I will check it out tomorrow though. Thanks!

You didnt have the tires off the ground did you? If so check the rear spring isolators. I had one come out in mine.
