body lean with stock springs

Has anyone noticed if your car leans to the right rear?

My car is an 08 GTCS with the stock rear springs. It is an inch lower on the right side.

This used to be common with Fox bodies. I have not noticed it before on this car.

Any iteas?

Move the body in the trunk to the left side.

Wouldn't that just make it lean on the left side?

Switch the springs left to right and see if it makes a difference.

It's easier to shift the body though.

Sounds like the spring is gone or a bushing is worn out somewhere on the right.

my 06 came from the factory with the lower rubber isolator folded under the spring...doubt its the only one that ever rolled out that way, might take a look- top too.
