Default Why is my car tilting???

i have a 95 Mustang GT 5.0 and there seems to be a slight problem with the ride height on the passenger front tire...

it seems to be tilting more over to the passenger side and its rather noticeable if u look at the front end of the car, keep in mind that when i bought the car it was LOWERED 2 inches from stock....i am thinking it could be either the struts or springs...i checked the struts and they look fine...also i was shaking the front passsenger side of the car up and down to see if the car would rebound but it only rebounds for about 3 seconds than it completely stops and barely rebounds much..

any ideas what this could be? could it be the body itself? springs? anyone know?

You say the "ride height" of the front tire...

I'm a bit confused. Are you saying the front right tire is leaning Inward or Outward???

Take a look at this picture, and see if your problem matches any of these...

It could just be a simple alignment issue...

no..it has nothing to do with the actual tire..sorry for confusin ya.

its the whole passeneger side end is leaning.....when u look at it from a couple of feet back..u can definately see the car lean as if a tire is flat or something..

It sounds to me like you have a sagging spring. Not too critical of an issue. You may just need new springs...

I'd have a mechanic get under the car and do a professional evaluation. Make sure the frame, spindles, or struts are not damaged. Chances are, if the car has not been in an accident, then its just the spring itself.

The springs are the primary support (provides the height) for a Mustang, so that is where I'd turn to first....

Any new lowering spring will work...

Sincerely,
