Default car leans lol

So I was going down the high way and my on bud was behinde me. He was telling me my car leans a good 2 inches to the right side i think more towards the rear. Then a day later a group of friends were behind me and told me the same thing any Ideas? Broken Spring maybe?

So your "Sittin Sideways". lol

I never heard of anyone breaking a spring, but that's the only thing I can think of... I don't think a bad shock could do that.

I got the same thing. My passenger side is about 1.5 inches lower than my driver side. Someone told me that it could be the chasis, but u would feel that when u drive. The car would be drivin sideways, but to the driver it would feel normal. I bought some shocks/springs and will be installin them soon. Ill tell ya what happens.

I have the same thing. I had someone take a look at it and they told me it can be do to the rear of the car squatting due to hard launches or burnouts. The spring seat on the passenger side bends down and the phb assembly becomes bent. Take a look at it and let me know if thats your problem. The solution from what I have been told is to take it to a frame shop and let them fix it, or just add alot of force and alot of heat and try and bend it back into place.
