Since the day I bought the car it has sat lower on the left rear than the right. Since then I have put in new shocks and springs all around and it still does it. Any ideas on what I should check next? Could the sway bar possibly cause this?

I'm perplexed as well. My '87 (base model) leans on pass side. I too replaced shocks/struts. I'm ready to just use a spacer so it looks right and not worry about it. What really bothers me is, the ride quality SUCKS! (I'll post a separate message on that one. )

my car has always leaned a little, i did not notice untill i set a lift under it one day and the gap between the rack and car was differnt. anyone else notice there car leaning?

Well I removed the rear sway bar and the lean is still there, nearly 3/4 of an inch difference between the fender and tire with the right side being the taller of the two.

Wierd, huh? Mine leans about the same but on the other side. My rear springs and shocks are new, but someone told me if a front spring sags a little, it can raise the opp rear corner more. In other words, you wouldn't notice the front sag, it could be the other corner raised! Check it out.

well from everything else i've read they are s'post to sit a lil higher on the driverside so when the driver is in the car it will be about level. however im in the same boat as the o.p. b/c my car sits lower on the driverside, and can't figure out why yet. I know my rearend is off center but I can't see that affecting ride heigth.

That is a total myth. These cars did NOT lean from the factory. I don't know what causes it but they weren't engineered to sit that way.
