Does it work? If it goes straight leave it alone. You could be opening a big ol can of worms. Mine goes straight as an arrow and it is higher on the passenger side..I bought the car 10 years ago as a roller and asked the guy what did what in the suspension and all he would say was "Don't f#@k with it it works!" :shock: So I have never messed with it. lol

i can understand higher on the passenger side i havent run it yet so i dont know what it acts like. im just not sure how it will act sitting lower on passenger side

is this a full chassis, or back half, caged car? in other word,s is the chassis fairly stiff.

if the car is not preloaded heavy on the driver,which would cause this condition. i would measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the front frame horn,s, to make sure they were same height. do this on as flat a surface as possible, if the pass side frame horn is lower for any reason, weak spring, bad shock, diff roll out on tires, ect, this would cause the driver side rear to be too high, rather than pass side too low, hope this helps.

i have it up on stands and it measures good the shocks are off and the rearend still sits the same way thats why i was thinking maybe it was setup for a big guy.

check it off jack stands, with load on the car.

Take it somewhere and have it scaled, maybe it has a huge amount of preload on the driver side, either ladder bar or spring.

ok i got it lined out. its about 1/2" off now less than a 1/16" with me in it. with me in the seat you can wiggle the front passenger side bolt out. now doesnt that sound about right?
