I recently modified the old 3 link set up on the rear to a 4 link adjustable, c/w new bushings and springs. Everything is now square within 1mm but before this, the car leaned to the driver's side and afterward still leans about the same. Is out by about 1/2 to 3/4". Any suggestions on getting it to sit level?

Shim the body mounts. Add spacers to the coil spring. Run a larger tire on driver's side. Cut the coil spring on P/S. Carry the Iron Indians concrete blocks for the banner. Gain 100 lbs.

I had thought about cutting or possibly heating a spring, or adding spacers, no concrete ... (car is heavy enough.. don't really want a way overweight girl friend to level it either)... pondering the idea of shimming body mounts....

Maybe I've missed an earlier post, but have you done any work to the front suspenion??
Have you taken a measurement on all for corners??
Check.....front springs, bushings, especialy the top bushings, are any of the front end wheel alignment shims loose.
Would you like a date???
Front end is completely redone, with the exception of the springs and lower control bushings. Measured all 4 and low on driver rear - high on pass front. Going to try spacing the left rear spring first.
.... and that picture is, ..... there are no words to describe it
