Default rear end sits crooked

i have a 90 gt and it sits about a 1/2in lower on the driver side rear. i just lowered it thinking it was the suspension but it did not fix the prob. any clue as to what is wrong, please help. o yeah and i dont think the frame is bent because the doors and all lines line up.

all the springs were installed according to the directions. Also it is a complete suspension upgrade with new shocks, springs, struts and camber caster plates. Only thing that wasnt replaced were the quad shocks which i dont think would make a difference.

Wouldn't think so, not to insult you or anything but could you be missing a bushing or something on that side? Try removing both the quad shocks and see if that changes it at all.

if it sat fine before then obviously it what happen recently or you have a bad part , springs and shocks in the rear are not that bad to change , switching a spring and then a shocks wouls tell you possible if one of them is at fault , also has the new springs settled in , you may wan to give it a lil time . also i have had a slight problem in a front spring once , which was a lil hard to notice , but the rear was crooked more , threw us for a while there . just check things over real good , good luck

my rear end is crooked too. the passanger side rear is about 1 half finger length lower than the driver side rear, i have new shocks springs etc etc... i also changed my spring isolators... so i think its just the way it is, one side will be a little bit lower...

Unless there's something farily heavy sitting on one side I don't think it should be that way, put the stock stuff back on and see, if it's still the same then I wouldn't worry about it and do yourself a favor and get a tape so you know what the differance is.

my 96 has the exact same issue! i thought it was an issue with my run down stock suspension, so i installed new springs and struts all the way around, leaving the quad shock in place... just like you, and what d'ya know, it still slants, it's just slanting, and lower than before hehe

i thought that maybe my sway bars were bent or warped? i figured i'd pull them off and see if the car corrected itself... seeing as i wanted to replace them with some upgraged units anyway

i'll let ya know if it helps!
