Passenger side of the car is low?

I just noticed this when i had the car up on a lift and putting a new exhaust on. The passenger side sits a little over 1" lower then the drivers side. Does this normally happen over time? I thought its usually the drivers side that would do this.
If the car frame was twisted would this happen? Should i just try getting new springs?

Re: Passenger side of the car is low?

i was just gonna post a similar question. my passenger side sits about 1/2" lower than the driver's side. i know my shocks are gone, but i dont think that would make it sag that much. think new springs and shocks will fix it? anyone else have this happen?

Re: Passenger side of the car is low?

I have this exact problem too, here's a link with some answers for ya.

http://www.ilfba.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1053

"With no one in the car, ALL F-Bodies are a little lower on the passenger side than the driver's side. This is done to compensate for driver weight. It's not much of a difference though. If it's a big difference in ride height, make sure the spring hasn't popped out of the pocket or something."
