Default Forum dudes...I got a sagging rearend

Dudes...I have noticed a constant, odd noise coming from the driverside rear for quite a while now...and the other day, my buddy pointed out to me that my car looks a little low on that side as well. I can't believe I have never noticed it...the driverside rear sits 1 and 1/2 inches lower than passenger side. Could it be a bad strut? Control arms? There is no weight on either side...so I m thinking it is some bad suspension or something...confused and bewildered.

your thoughts?

Check your springs and spring perches both are known to break. The shocks and struts do not hold up the car the springs do.

While your back there, check the spring pads to. Theres one at each end of the spring. Id check the spring, perch, and the pads on the passenger side to just to be sure.
