Ok on the right side of my camaro it is sagging really bad. I measured from one side of my rear bumper to the other and it sags more than 1'' down on the right side.. I think the problem could be shock related or suspension, I'm not sure. I wanted to know what you guys thought it was. Recently also I had a mild accident where that right side of the car went off road.. Anyone ever had any problems like this with the car sagging to one side badly?? Oh and there is plenty of air in the tires... :brick:

Has the car ever been lowered? If so do you have an adjustable panhard bar?

Does it have any sweaks or rattles? If so it could be a busted shock.

yeah i was thinking busted shock myself. Does it bounce like hell real bad on the right side when you go down the road? It might be a broken sway bar bushing ...mabye. I have had that happen and it sat lower one side.Take the shock off and see if it recoils when you push it in. Do a good visual inspection for anything scatched up from when you ran it off the road.

I briefly had the time the other day to jack it up and couldnt see any major damage to the underside. My car squeaks badly though and I am not sure why.. It has always rattled alot too. This is freakin me out with the sagging thing now cuz my '94 silverado just up and started leaning like 2 inches to the left, the whole body, just like the Z..

Nope and nope, something got screwed up in my accident, but it's visually hard to see anything wrong...

Guys... shocks do not determine ride height... Springs do. All of the shocks could be broken and it wont change the height of the car.

5.0this.....when talking about cars anything is possible. I have personally seen ride height raise to inches by installing new shocks on a carmaro. If the shock has been busted for awhile it is possible the spring may have weakend. Their are to many variables when you think about how many cars their are. If you ever own your own garage you will see things you never thought possible. I sure have!
