Default need help..suspension problem? i think

hey i got a 90 gt 5.0. i got it about a month ago with somewhat new tires on it.(if this has ne ting to do with it.) i just notice today that my cars on a tilt. the back right whell gap between the tire and the frame is about a 1" icnh difference from my back left. its puttin alot of wieght on my from left tire ..looks like its on a curb parked. im thinking it might be a bad suspension sping. when i put my body wieght on the higher side it doesnt really "rock". but the otherside rocks fine. help me..need to suggestions on what to look for. differnt springs? on each side. a shitty one ? help plz

that's a tuffy, if it had stock springs i would say it is the springs. just got buy some steeda sport springs. there only like $179 for all four and make your car look and handle alot nicer. but it could be a number of things.

yeah replace the springs first then start looking for bending in the frame. was the car ever modified and ran with slicks? does it have sub-frame connecters? these bodys tweek alot even in the hard tops.look to see if doors and hatch close even and smooth.

I'll go with trouble on the rear shock being screwed up. Maybe a tweaked shaft not allowing it to compress all the way. Seen this happen before.. Take out the shocks see if you can compress/extend them by hand.

you probably have a shock that is starting to go bad, again pull them out and check the compression...
