Default '79 Riding low--front wheel bite

Howdy folks, my '79 Berlinetta is riding too low on the drivers front, I'm getting occaisonal wheel bite, even after replacing the worn out center link and idler arm. I am thinking I'll need to replace the springs, but if you have any other suggestions I'd love to hear it. Also, I'm aligned but I'm getting some drift to the right--I am thinking this is probably worn out bushings in the rear end--could this be part of my problem as well, or a seperate issue.

Thanks
Joe

Springs will sag. If your going to bushings might as well do the ball joints while your at it. As you pull the control arms to do the bushings you will understand why. Center link and idler arm have nothing to do with suspension. That is steering. Check your tire pressure and make sure your on flat road. A crown in a road for drainage will cause a pull to the right. Some alignment shops will compensate for the crown but giving your car a little pull to the left.
