I have been noticing lately that my '73 likes to lean to the passenger rear. If you look at the pictures I have provided you can see that the front drivers side is high. Is it my suspension or could the frame be twisted in some way? Man I hope it is the suspension. I can't loose another Z, There are no more around where I live. :cry:

Thanks

If it is not the springs doo not worry! When I stripped my Z I thought my frame was twisted, I went and talked to a guy at a shop and he told me how to check if it is the frame by measuring from reference points, it turned out the frame was fine, just my small twisted piece was from a previous repair, but it was not the whole car like yours is. Anyways, when I was talking to him I gathered that even if my frame was twisted he would have pulled it for me back into alignment and it would have costed me no more than a few hundred dollars, so do not worry, you will not have to look for a new Z, maybe just fork out some dough

O yea, if you want the Z dimensions e-mail me, I have a copy that Ed sent to me prviously when I was in the same situation you are in now. You can use these to check the dimensions to make sure they are right. Good luck, I hope it is just your springs!

Brian, I sent you the frame dimensions and everything about them

Judging that you have just been noticing this, unless the car was in an accident you didn't know about, my guess is that it is the springs. Even the unevenness of the car looks a little to wrong for it to be the frame with out you previously notice. Does the car excessivlely bounce on that corner is ytou put all your weight into it?

Well if it isn't the springs, I gave you enough information to check if it is the frame or not. Good Luck
