Default Why does my car sit on a slant?

My DA sits on a slant. The front passanger side is lower in the front. Suspension is stock.

Wierd. Can you guys put some input?

Thanks.

Maybe the person that owned the car before you always had a fat person in the passenger side, so it will sage over time because of it, or the spring could be broken.

my civic does the same thing only both the front and rear drivers side. It's old sagging springs, your springs are 17+ years old driven through winters and summers they are going to start to sag holding all that wieght for such a long time period.

simple... you either have blown suspension there, or sieze shocks on the other side. my car is higher on the passenger side, cus my right rear shock is siezed. its our old *** suspension, nothing else.
