Collapsing coil springs? 140-160 1971

posted by  someone claiming to be Niel on  Wed Sep 8 21:54 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi, just wondering where it would be best to measure/determine if the coil springs on my car are collapsing. One side looks like it is about 1" lower than the other, and my driveway is virtually level. As a check, I did turn the car around which gave the same appearance. I'm great at electrical and electronic problems, but still learning on the mechanical side.

All the suspension bushes and steering joints were replaced almost 4 months ago, but it is only the last month or so that I've noticed this leaning. The car was never in an accident, so the panels are still more or less lined up.

If it stops raining, I'll get under the car this weekend. Where should I measure what?

Thanks
