ok all I know this has all been said before and a few of your cars will do it too so the other day I wanted to try and figure out what it was, because sitting 1/2 to 1 inch lower on the passenger side is really annoying.

anyway, with the car up on wheel ramps so the suspension was still loaded I measured the spring travel, and the issue is that the spring/shock on the right are more compressed by 1/2 inch on the passenger side than the driver side. I also check alternatly with the rear on axle stands, load off the car and front on the ramps and vice versa. This further allowed me to find that the rear of the car if dead even (rear on ramps and front on stands) but the front is not (rear on stands (so level) and front on ramps. SO the only conclusion I can draw is that there is a bad weight distribution to the front right hand side of the car, with the battery and air con compressor or I have a bent upper A-arm (looks ok)?? as i replace the lower one already (Its not the shocks or springs because they are new)

Im having some custom control arms fabricated soon and will let you all know if that solves it, and am also removing the air con so that may help?? i'll update if i know anything new

 

Unless the front end is on free floating alienment pads you can not trust your measurments. Even on these free floating pads we "joust the front suspension twice before makeing any measurment. The side forces on the tires can chang e lot in the geometery.

 

yeah i know where your coming from, but either way with the car on the floor on an even surface its lower on the passenger side, thats when its driven straight to a flat surface so shouldn't be any other forces etc. If my A arms dont cure it im moving the battery, it would be good to see if i could get in on some 4 plate scales too

 

Seems to me the car may end up fairly even once you put your bucket in the drivers seat!

 

its my understanding that gm designed the car to set lower on the passenger side so it would be level when a driver is in the seat. i guess no one is supposed ot ride in the passenger seat. i dont think its a inch though, mine is like 3/8 in lower on the passenger side.

 

yeah craby it looks like an inch

but its not that much, its like 1/2 at most

camaro69 , true ill have my dad measure it while im in it hahah

 

Mine looked like she leaned to the side as well, but I think she kinda straightened herself after the work that was done to her (oddly enough). But there was a considerable difference when I had her parked.

 

Yeah I noticed that too! I thought I was just crazy.. but mine is more than half an inch I think so mine might be set wrong. Even when I hop in I can still tell it's leaning
