Leaning to the right
The car has been running great since we pulled her our of winter storage a few weeks ago. One issue that I have not addressed yet is that it leans to the right. The driver side of the car sets higher than the passenger side. No frame issues or visible damage, no broken suspension components, and nothing that seems to be binding.
I am going to remove the rear springs and see if there is a height difference, or any marked difference in how they feel. I will also unbolt the shocks and check them for a blowout or odd feel. The lean is visible from both the front and back of the car. Anything else I should look at? |

Re: Leaning to the right
Your car's now an antique and most likely still has the original bushings and springs in it. Replace all of them on the body, suspension, and get some new springs. It's a fairly common issue.

Re: Leaning to the right
Sounds like a plan. This one will be a "driving restoration" so I can go a bit at a time. I have had good results with PST on other cars - using their springs and poly bushings.
