leaning car?

I recently did all of the bushings on my car, and i get the strnage sensation that its now leaning, notable downward on the back drivers side corner. The shocks are good, the spring are in the right area(i'll double check) and not worn out. Anything I might have possibly done? Or am I just seeing things? I do feel less wheel gap on that side then on the passenger rear. the driver is a tight two fingers, while the passenger is a loose two.


I also have the feeling that the rear axle is out more on the driver side too, though its not nearly as noticeable to me. maybe i'm just seeing things. I'll do some measuring tomorrow.

if its a corolla and its lowered it will stick out ont he drivers side untill you get an adjustable pahard bar to pull the axle back

also, when you tighten the bolts when you put your 4 links back on, jack up the rear axle to compress the suspension before tightening down all the way. i THINK that's the proper way to do it, and i'm not sure how much that'll help your leaning problem.

it could if he tightned up one side up and one side down it wouldnt be a lot. Do you have the stock rubber isolator in above the rear drivers spring?

it will all settle in. it may take a little longer if you didnt lube the poly kit.
