Weird that this forum corrected the word I typed to transmission. LMAO

Put a Floor jack under the front left and jack it up even in front.

Measure what happens in back.

I'm going to try this tomorrow morning. I don't think I've been thinking about this the right way. I really should have new springs anyway.

After he does that he can just toss a chubby girl in the back passenger seat until a more permanent fix is done.

I'm married... So which is worse? Picking up a random chubby girl for ballast, or asking my wife to sit in the back?

You got my interest - My El Camino is the same way: the left front and left rear are both lower than the right front and right rear, respectively, by about 3/16" to 3/8". New poly body mounts and new UMI springs with Bilstein shocks all the way around made no difference.

I'm thinking it could be bad control arm bushings, but I'll have to wait until next spring/summer to change those.

Keep her off the board!!!

if she hasn't read the thread, she wont know she is there as ballast. She just thinks you're trying to relive high school days with her and you may score bonus points.

Then there's option two.... strap a keg in the back, removing tap while driving of course.

Might check the body mounts in the front, while I was under my car one afternoon I noticed the front mount sitting funny. It was loose for what ever reason.

If you play your cards right, both.

Hey wife, climb in the back with the random chubby girl... I'm gonna try to "level out the suspension"

What could go wrong?
