Driver side rear is lower
Just noticed it a few days ago, I thought it might be the ground level but wherever I park the driver side rear is lower. Is there an easy way to fix!

Last week I noticed the same on my '88. I Looked and noticed I had cracked my rear mono leaf. Bought replacement at VBP for $300. Took a couple of hours but did wonders for handling.

Springs can crack....but most of the c4's(if not all of them) are more "relaxed" on the drivers side. Crank the drivers side spring bolt if you'd like to even it out. That ought to do it.

Was the crack obvious? Last time I saw my spring, it looked good, but I'll check again.
Or my car is telling me to go on a diet and no more beer :cheers:

Check the spring, but the "lean" came with the car!
Almost all do it and no one can give a satisfactory reason. They don't do it all the time either, which is really confusing :rolleyes:
Just drive and enjoy

They came that way from the fatory. GM did it so that car looks level when you factor in road crown. Easily adjusted with the rear bolts.
