Hi guys I recently purchased a 1988 McLaren I picked it up cheap and am trying to get her back in good shape but my first objective is to get it back in good drivable condition it does run and drive but I am having some extreme sag (4" or so) on the rear passenger side like nothing I've ever seen before wondering if anyone has any idea as to what's causing it I've replaced shocks the coil spring is not damaged that I can see was gonna replace springs and upper and lower control arms but don't want to go crazy on buying stuff if it's not gonna fix the problem thank you in advance for any help or advice

Check all your suspension areas.

Many times it is a front suspension problem that causes that a rear slant. But usually its that 1-2" that drives Fox owners crazy.

4" does seem like a lot though and I would suspect the rear as well.

Sounds like a broken spring. Count how many coils the left side has and compare to the right.

Thanks for replies I ordered some coil springs cause everything else looks OK for the moment I can't figure out how to post pics from my phone or else I'd post some of the lean I'll update if the springs help or not
