84 Vette Rear Spring

Hi Guys, I have an 84 C4 & it leans (sags) to the left in the rear & i've seen other 84's do the same thing/Is this the rear spring ? It has all new shocks & same size tires !
Thanks for any advise ! Jim

just adjust your spring bolt on the left side. (shorten it or, lengthen the right side) after which you will have to have the rear end aligned.

You can turn the spring around left to right to see if it is the spring, the adjust the longbolts.

that's what i did, when i had the spring out for pad repairs, i flipped the 135,xxx mile spring left to right, the leading edge was subject to road debris and a heavy PO, on the driver side, flipped it over and it even out the car,

simple trick saved a bunch of money, now the pass side is not preloaded as much and the driver side is doing the work, my theory one side overworks with the weight of the driver,

but i could be wrong and these springs never fatigue anywhere...
