I took some measurements in my garage because I thought my back end was leaning...turns out mt driver's side front is 1/2" lower than the rest measuring from the ground to the fender at the center of the wheel well.

What should be the first thing I look at? (I have not done my web research yet)

1. Make sure your Z is not parked in a hole.

Concrete garage floor = no holes

Air pressure? Maybe the spring has developed a sag? No wait, is that the side your flux capacitor is mounted?

It's just tired springs. You're single, all the weight is on one side :roll:

You can cut the spring down 1/2" on the other side, or get some new springs. :?

My Z is ½ inch low on the front passenger side. Anyone have a level Z32? Maybe it’s a Z affliction.

Every time I take my Z out after a hiatus from driving it, the front passenger side also looks low for the first few minutes of driving and then seems to level right off. Always wanted to measure it but haven't gotten around to it. Something to do tonight!!
