Oh, that subject line will get me in hot water. Actually, it's her car, a 1991 744T with 198K on it. The rear of the car sits about 1-1/2" lower on the driver's side than the passenger's side. Convention (not IRS or Nivomat) rear suspension, and I've replaced the shocks with new Boge Turbo Gas units within the last year, and replaced the springs with a pair of progressive rate "cargo coils" from Scan Tech. These made the rear sit LOWER, so I pulled them out and put in a pair of springs pulled from a 745 at the junkyard. This raised the rear end a bit, but the driver's side still sits somewhat lower. I've also replaced the track rod or panhard rod bushings. Any other bushings back there that I should be looking at?
