Hmmmmm....Sagging Suspension?????

[tallcan]

My Cutlass "sags" on the passenger's side....if you look at it you can definetely tell the car is not level. It was really noticable before I replaced the shocks and swapped the coils out for lowering springs. I figured that would take care of it. Nope! It's not as drastic as before, but its still kinda annoying to look at! The whole damn care is lower on one side. Anyone know how to level this thing out?

1983 Olds Cutlass, 307, Edelbrock Q-Jet......a work in progress!

You may have some bad body mounts

Or worn suspension bushings...

Yeah

That would surely make sense....have to go check it out. Thanks for the input!

I got an 85 cutlass salon...............same problem. redid the rearsprings and still there.

ball joints and front suspension will fix it..........since ya gotta split the ball joints to do front springs anyway..........DO THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS AS WELL. kinda pricey to fix. mines been leaning for 5 years now, somehow I always spend the money on something else for the car!


peace

You can pick up both upper and lower ball joints for both sides at Advance for about $60 out the door. Then rent their ball joint replacement kit, once you return it you get all the money back from the rental fee. The job itself is more time consuming than expensive.... :arrow: I've been looking into it, I'm due for new ones on both sides as well.
