:Gee is this a trick question or what?
a. It gets 90% of the person sitting in the car on this side.
b. Because the driver's seat wears out first.
c. Why are most of the parking lot door dings on the passenger's side?
d. Why does the sun rise in the East?
I think it's A. after 30 years of someone setting on you, you'd sag some to.
Shocks are for controling the spring bounce, not for supporting the car. That's what the springs do. If you don't believe me take the shocks off and then bounce the car, watch it keep bouncing. That's how you know when the shocks are trash.
Now take the springs out with the shocks in and watch the car drop down to till it bottoms out.
my car seems to have a lean to it. it sits about 6" - 12" lower on the driver side then the passenger side does. i have new shock all around and new leafs in the back. any other ideas as to what my problem is?
