Uneven height. Sagging Suspenion?
The driver side of my sedan sits noticably lower than the passenger side. Is this mainly due to old and sagging suspenion - shocks and springs?
Or is there some other component that I should be looking to replace to fix the problem. I will soon be installing 18inch wheels and tires, and I don't want one side [driver side] rubbing unecessarily due to a lower sagging suspension. Is this a common problem for our platforms? I seem to remember some of the guys that lower their cars with koni/eibach or koni/h&r combo to complain about one side being higher/lower than the other, but my car is bone stock, so I can't figure why the ride height would be uneven. Please help, TIA.

It seems to be pretty common in older Legends and I notice it's the rear that really sags, the front is usually even. I'm not sure if it's shocks, springs, or a combination of both.

Now that you mention it, the rear does seem to be the lowest.
It rides good, but it makes me feel uneasy knowing that something isn't right with my car. Hopefully it's as simple as a sagging rear shock and/or spring. I've had my eye on some Monroe Sensatrac's for some time now...maybe it's time to upgrade.

But how does that explain the rear? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the rear doesn't have ball joints.
