Rear Suspension question
My '87 coupe sits a bit lower on the rear drivers side than the rear passenger side. I noticed this while it was sitting on very level ground. Now I notice it quite a bit since I'm now aware of the issue.
It's about .25-.5 inches lower on the drivers side rear - top of tire to fender/flare.
The car seems to drive fine and the suspension seems nice and taught.
Any ideas that I can look into before taking it to a shop?
thanks!

if it's been sitting all winter, then just drive it for awhile, and don't do anything rash.
If it's a daily driver, then I'd adjust the eccentrics. You need a thin "ride height wrench" though, and if the nut is really really stuck, you might have to take off the springplate first, then loosen the clamp nuts.
Corner balancing as menioned, can do weird things to ride height.
