Whenever i start my car and shift it into reverse the car raises if i go to reverse it drops lower to the left side. Is the 87 cutlass supreme equipped with air ride or could my shocks and struts be blown? When i jounce test it the right side jumps more and i can hear a "phisss" sound like air. when i do the same to the left it nice and firm ( not too bouncy)
Im not really to sure what to think so if anybody has info please share.

Does the car have air shocks on the rear?

Looks like regular old Monroe shocks, not air shocks. Judging by the appearance, I'd definitely replace them.
