i cant figure it out. my car leans a noticable amount and i dont accept "to compensate for the weight of the driver" as an answer. im looking for a definite solution to this

Mine doesn't lean noticeably. You might check that your sway
bar endlinks look matched in length and bungee-crush, that's
one way to build in some body roll (having them mismatched,
mounts bent, etc.). You might be able to take some out with
a mismatched endlink or a mount shim.

Spring mismatch or even a gas-charged shock that's lost its
gas could also impart an imbalance.

They all lean to the passenger side. My guess is that most of the weight is there, battery, spare tire/jack, not really sure why though either.

I must be one of the lucky ones. My car measures the same at each corner. I see this come up all the time though. Also I ditched the spare and jack years ago.

car has done is since stock. all rear suspention parts have been changed to aftermarket including axle. everything in front except sway bar end links and bushings (they dont look bad) have been changed. it still leans. i cant figure this out

I just tell myself it's the shitty GM build tolerances and forget about it. How would/could you even fix something like that? I wouldn't worry about it.

Aren't the motors slightly offset. Hence why changing driver plugs is a breeze but passenger ones are a bitch? But yeah, battery and spare tire in an otherwise weight symmetrical car could contribute also.

i think you should amend your post to read "please help me figure out why MY car leans" 3rd F body and not one of them have ever leaned. all have had multiple suspensions with no noticeable lean... maybe you have some frame damage somewhere?

Mine leans too. But im thinking more along the lines of crap shocks and sagging shovks

Most of the F-bodies I've looked at lean. It's possibly the above factors and a byproduct of the panhard design on these cars.

I still dont know why my verts seems to lean towards the driver side :S I gotta do some measuring ..

I meant sagging springs lol mine is half an inch lower on the pass front.

Coil overs all around, or CO's in the front with adjusters on the rear springs. That how you could fix it if you wanted to.

If you search, Sam Strano has a great explanation for this. If I recall correctly, its due to the stock suspension and geometry.

I have the same issue in same location, and wonder how this difference would affect handling?

I believe my spring in this location is sagging since my stock shock was disconnected from the mount in that location for some time not doing anything to help...

My 72 Chevelle leans, my '97 F-body leaned, my '95 caprice wagon all leaned the same way.

on a side note, u can look at the springs and tell the right side is compressed more. iv also tryed switching them with no luck. its also had 3 different rear ends in it with no change

I've had 3 sets of springs on my '96, OE, Eibach Pro-Kit, and Strano. The car never leaned.....
