So, I replaced the shocks and springs on my car. New 140lb springs and Bilsteins. The old springs were stockers and seemed pretty light as well as worn out. The car would sit a little bit lower on the back left side from time to time.... figured it was the springs and shocks, since it would sometimes sit level across the rear.

Well, it's still doing it. Doesn't appear to be so bad, but it's there. I guess now I'm thinking bushing? Next worse case, ovaling of the suspension ear? Followed by full on crack?

I guess I'm just looking to confirm my next target. Am I on the right track or am I chasing my tail? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

A very out of adjustment RF suspension height could contribute. You could try lowering the RF a turn or two and see what happens. Count the number of turns so that you can reverse what you've done.
