Evening all, I had the Pumpkin up on a jack stand (pass side) to disconnect fuel lines to pull the gas tank (yet again). When I put her back on the floor she is leaning lower on the drive side. What should I look for or do? Tried bouncing front pass side and it did nothing. Help please. Thanks Renee |

Shocks, strut inserts go bad over time. Springs loose their spring.

If you raised the passenger side, look for things that have become displaced. In particular, if you have aftermarket springs on the rear, they may have popped out of the spring perches.
