Wife's sagging rear end 700 1991


This isn't necessarily abnormal for your brick, and if you've replaced everything you mention you should be fine. I've found taht just about every brick (self-leveling nivs or not) has a tendency to sit lower at rest than once it gets running. They also have a tendency to "retain" a lean if you push downon them or if they have only one passenger (the driver) most of the time. Regardless, it usually sorts itself out once you get going, so it isn't anything to worry about.

However, if it's really bad like an outer edge of wheel well falling down over the edge of the tire when looked at from a perpendicular angle (the edge of teh well should be 1" or so above the top of the tire in most instances) you might examine your front suspension. A weak front shock or suspension can let the front corner of the car drift upwards, and might cause it to lean down on the corresponding back corner. Everyone seems to forget that while shocks generally react to downward force, they are just as important for pulling the car down against upwards forces and keeping the whole thing level.

good luck,
