    Default suspension question

    i just noticed that my car sits at a angle toward the passenger side in the back is it due to a bad spring or bad shock?

    Im assuming you are on stock suspension? Would most likely be caused by a shock getting old and worn.

    And you've never changed the shocks? When I replaced mine at around 105k I could play them like an accordion. Get some bilsteins and h&r race springs haha

    Make sure you don't have a busted spring in back. Seen some rust and crack.
