Default '88 951 with sagging rear-end

Not sure how it happened. but the passenger side rear suspension is sitting about 7/8" (22mm) lower than the drivers side. I swapped coil-overs (left to right and right to left) to see if that was the problem. Same results, passenger rear sitting almost an inch lower still. No cracked or bent suspension mounting points, could there be a problem with the torsion bar? Any help would be much appreciated.

have you checked the adjustment eccentrics? Maybe passenger side went loose?

Geno, I'm assuming you are referring to these bolts, specifically the one closest to the hub.





I checked the passenger side an its tight. I did notice the driver side seemed to have slipped showing an outline of clean metal. so I realigned the driver side, that helped recover a 1/4" but I still have the issue.
