Bought this $400 beater a couple months ago and I've noticed it leans to the driver side. So I put new to me good used struts on all four corners and it still leans. Has a clean title doesn't seem to have been in a wreck nothing looks bent. So any ideas to why it might be leaning. The suspect seems to look like the driver rear to me. Excuse the rims and monster truck tires.

Hopefully I have some time today to check it out. Didn't even think about rust being a factor. Surprisingly for having being in snowy winters it's whole car life there isn't must rust beside that passenger rear wheelwell.

Could bad ball joint or bushing cause this? I'm stumped.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

If the rear springs are stock and they still have the plastic covers on the upper coils, remove them and see if the coils are rusted (just took the originals off my 90, very rusty!).

Are the struts gas charged? If one has lost its charge, it may lean to that side.
It is a longshot, but the control arm mounting bolts are supposed to be tightened with weight on the suspension. If some were tightened when the car was raised (suspension hanging down), it might contribute.Last edited by Fleetw00d; 08-08-2015, 02:13 PM.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450
