Rear end is always at diffrent height?
I don't know how to put this,
but the rear of the car, the rear wheel wells, there is always a diffrent amount of wheel gap back there. I mean, the car sits perfectly level, but if there is even a slight imperfection on the parking lot or whatever i park on, there will be like 1 finger less wheel gap on one side, and one finger more on the other. The car itself doens't appear to lean, just the amount of gap on the wheel wells.
The car is lowered 2 inches all around with stock shocks and struts with about 90,000 miles on them.. could weakening shocks be the cause of this? or is this typical behavior on the solid axle?

heres a link,

I wouldn't replace the shocks quite yet, go out to the car and press down on the rear corners. Does it bounce?

from what i read on that link the shocks don't affect the lean of the car period..i don't know if i believe that.
If a shock is blown it would stand to make sense it could cause a slight lean.
IT doesn't bother me that much, its not to the point where the car is leaning, but i just feel that something in the system is weak.
