Well i started trying to fix my leaning problem and have so far replaced all 4 struts/ springs, Front Lower control arms, ball joints, sway bar, tie rod ends, tension rods, and tension rod mounts........BUT MY CAR STILL SITS about an inch higher on the passenger side!!!!

What else could be causing it to sit like this?

lol ......still funny!!!!

Don't be a sensitve sally its not my fault yo **** is still leaning!!!!!

Anyway did you replace with new or used (springs and struts)?Also has your car been in an accident possibly causing you to believe it is suspension related and not actual frame damage as originally posted by anthony1112?

well then you just answered your own question if the old suspension didn't make it lean but the new one does take that POS off and get it replaced!!!!!!

Does it seem like the rear leans worse than the front? Sounds like you might have some eibach springs in it. Did you use the stock rubber bushings that go on the perches? Maybe you should save up for coilovers if you can. Just a thought you could try to remove the struts and take the coils off and measure them to see if there is a variance. Keep posting to see if we can fix your problem.

Btw did you reuse the old strut mounts? Maybe the strut mount bushing is bad or broken. Access the rear upper bolts and check to see if the strut mounting bolt is sticking up higher on the side its leaning. Just a thought.
