Default Sooo...My passenger *** end sags ;-)

I just got an 02 SS and the passenger rear sits about 3/4 to 1 inch lower than the driver's side...the car drives and tracks straight but it still bothers me...there seems to be no abnormal bottoming or anything but it does look as though the bumpstop has been hitting some and the shock doesn't appear to be leaking or the spring out of place?? Any help?? I'm thinking I may just need a new spring...Oh...the suspension is the factory bilstein and has the dark blue springs and the car has 60k miles...any help would be awesome

you are not the only one my friend....most all f bodies lean to the rear passenger side just like we get piston slap and dimples on the rear quarters..its an f body quirk!. it usually levels out when you sit in the car though ...

supposedly it's like that to account for driver weight. i don't know if i believe it but so far i have yet to hear another valid explanation or fix. maybe there's just more weight on the passenger side.

let me know if the paintless dent thing works. normally they have to be able to get behind it, and that spot is impossible to get to from behind. a branch fell on my quarter near there and it's been pissing me off.
