[Doug Fugere]

I am only 5'4" tall and pushing tops 175. I talked with Dad about the lean and his reply  "it was that way 17 years ago where have you been !".(out doing stuff) We did put used springs in it along time ago . Next year will be spring year!!. :^) ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Vander Werf To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 8:44 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] car sits lower on one side My 71 looked like a pretty good specimen when I first saw it except it sat at least an inch and a half lower on the drivers side. The guy who owned it wasn't home when I got there to see the car. His wife let me look it over until he got home. I crawled around underneath it in the rain to see if I could see any signs of frame damage. I couldn't see anything. While I was under the car he got home. He bent down and said, "I'm the reason the car leans." I crawled out from under the car to meet a very large, 6' 6", 400 pound guy who drove the car for about 4 years. I put new springs all around and the car sits nice and level. Bill Vander Werf   Doug Fugere wrote: O.K. it looks as though the elcy sits one inch lower on the drivers side. I took my hand and measured from the top of the tire to the wheel well on the passengers side and my hand fit , on the drivers side I did the same and was not able to fit entire hand in the same way.( high engineering tests here) What would cause a vehicle to sit like this?
