The car (32 special sedan) is not sitting level. The front axle is the same height on both R and L sides. The height of front spring perches are 1/2 inch higher on the left that on the right. The same is true for the rear spring perches. Can anybody explain what would cause this?

con bob, i had my rear springs re arched for about $350, it took 1 day and she sits level and proud now; drives straight now too. the left side was 1 1/4 " lower than the right. the ride is so much smoother now. worth every penny! jim, '30 coupe.
the chevy 6 clatter means nothings the matter.

People kept telling me that my 31 was listing to one side but every time I got out to check, it looked fine to me.
I don't think these people are on the level!!!

Get someone (same size as you) to drive your car and you follow behind it to check it out or are you pulling my leg (again) John?
