Car leaning to right side.

I just got the car, noticed it leans to the right, its about an inch or two lower on the right side of the car. What could be causing this? Struts was my guess, but its both wheels, you think the idiots lowered one side and not the other(i wouldnt be surprised).

depends

depends on which side you mean by right side? if you are refering to the passenger side being lower than the driver's side, this was intentional to compensate for the weight of the driver. Levels out when there is an *** in the driver's seat.... if you meant the other way around then, bad shocks,struts would be my first guess

maybe the previous owner did a lot of donuts in it and favored a direction that wore that side worse than the other...

well for driver weight, the car is naturally higher on the driver's sided. (2" sounds extreme I agree). I would go get your bushings checked out

I had this same problem on my 94 Camaro after I installed my new rims and tires. At first I thought my driver side spring might not've been sitting correctly, but it was.

These are the following things that I've been told it could be. Bad shock or a bent panhard bar. I'm not 100% sure what it is though.

Goodluck.
