1973 Z28 kinda leans to the drivers side
I just bought (2 days ago) a 73 Z28 and when I was taking some pics I noticed that it leans to the drivers side in front and back. Should I just change out the shocks and springs or is there something else I should look for? Thanks in advance.

Possibly the frame is twisted but if your tires have an alignment, it shouldnt bea problem. From what ive heard, 4th gens are higher on the drivers side to buffer the weoght effects of a driver in the seat.

I'm betting springs. they are what holds the suspension up, and being that old, and having someone getting in and out of it, possibly a heavy person for many years, it will weaken that side. My old Dodge Ram pickup leaned some to the drivers side. Shocks wont make your vehicle lean. All they do is absorb spring oscilations. (sp?)

sometimes when people intall aftermarket springs they dont pay any attention to the spring isolators, some of them have grooves for the spring and if installed incorrectly they can increase ride height by maybe half an inch or an inch
