Default 92 sc400 lean to drivers side

I have a noticeable lean of appx 1/2" to the drivers side of vehicle. I called a local shop and they advised me that I may have a broken or weak spring. 0 signs of shock leaks, just wondering if there is an adjustment to struts, etc that can be made to level the height? Thanks

My car has the same problem but it's a 1" difference.

I had all my shocks changed and it still had the same problem. Probably because the
springs are more worn on the driver's side.


But I don't know.....

Its usually due to the weight of the driver, mine was like that until I got coils..... now it sits perfectly even

make sure your sway bars are mounted correctly. one side may have flipped down causing the lean.
