Default My car leans to the left

What are the common causes and fixes to the semi-famous old vette lean. I have a 1-1.5 in lean issue. Drivers side wheel well clearance looks good, passenger side has way too much space between the tire and body.

Is the coil spring seated correctly?

The coil was not seated correctly in the upper spring pocket. Also found some loose bolts on the bottom shock mount. Car has a much better stance now.
