Default Car Tilts NEED HELP!!

I have a 92 mustang GT 5.0 and it tilts pretty bad towards the drivers side, i have no idea wat may be causing the problem, I really dont think the frame is bent it never been in a accident, a mechanic said it would be the shocks, and when i lowered it i thought it would all level out, it didnt so im out of ideas, if someone can help that would be great, b/c it looks like s**t now

Check the springs sounds like they could be the cause

Shocks don't hold the car up,only the springs do.It could be a broken spring.

i have a 91 gt and the passenger side is about 1.5 - 2 inches lower than the drivers side. so anything you find out might help me. can you look under and see if the occilator is bad/gone?

lol that was funny , any way , first where the springs installed correctly , the end of the pig tail needs to be between two lil holes in the front control arms to bee installed correctly , also the rear spring the pig tail on the bottom should be facing left if your behind the car facing foward, this is according to ford manuals and some spring manuf. the rear should be in the same position , if there twisted clockwise or counter clockwise your gonna get diff ride heights. also shocks do play a role in ride heigh a lil bit . if you dont belive me take off your rear shocks on your stang it real easy ,and you will see it drop . try those out .
