So I parked my car like 2 months ago in my garage for winterstorage. Today I walked in the garage and noticed that the car was leaning over to one side (pass. side). I got me some tape-measure and there's a difference of more then an inch.

Tire isn't flat...

What could be the cause? Any guesses?
 
Sounds like the springs, torq bars needs adjusted, or your floor isn't level?
????
 
Check the torsion bar anckors on the cross member to ensure the welds havent started to let go from the cross member... though this is usually a corosion problem
 
Oh, i'm sorry...difference is measured at the rear and yes, my garage floor is perfectly level.

Could it be the shocker?
 
I'd check to make sure nothing is obviously broken, then take it for a couple mile drive. Check it out and measure after. It might just even out on its own, stranger things have happened. And yeah it could be a sticky shock or something.
 
Unless your springs are crap and the car has coil over shocks on the rear, then the shock won't affect it at all.

If one front corner goes down, the opposite REAR corner will go UP (some anyway)
 
The car is not leaning.

You just had too much vodka :rolling::rolling::rolling:
 
Springs are new (Superstock Springs) or just a few years old. Not many miles on 'm.
No coilovers in the rear and none in the front.

I'll measure the bolts in the front to adjust the swingarms (correct word?). If there's a difference, the rear might adjust too.

First...salt has to dissapear...

What's the best way to measure? From fender to axel or from fender to ground or...

Thanks!
