87 Monte Aero 1600 miles. Leaning drivers side rear

[TomDisab]

My "new" Monte is leaning left side rear about 3/4 of an inch lower than right side. Replaced shocks and springs. What's up? 1600 miles on the car.

are you missing any body mount bushings and/or is the frame shot?

 

[TomDisab]

all looks good and factory

If you replaced shocks and springs and it's still doing it, then something is either twisted or bent. JMO.

Get the springs on right?

 

[pontiacgp]

park your vehicle on a flat surface and measure the ground clearance on the frame at each end of the C channel. If they are all the same then it's the body that is the problem, if they are inconsistent then it's the suspension

Uneven settling on new springs- get your 350lb buddy to ride shotgun and take it around town a few times.

Classic crappy metric frame build quality. Jam a 1/2" thick rubber spring isolator in there and see what happens.

Your aero has what Us city folk call a “Gangster lean” the only remedy being a must sell of trade(to me)...I’d start with a spring,brake upgrade(while u are @ it?)and body bushing appointment...

Get the springs on right?

yup
