Bad shock?

I dunno, it's kinda hard to see from here.

I doubt it though.

Take care

LOL, It is kinda far away isn't it. Seems the right rear wants to sag for some reason. The guy who had it before me lived on a really bumpy dirt road. Any ideas, nothing looks unusual really besides the fact of it sagging as silly as that may sound.

I had a similar problem when I got my car. It turned out that the guy who owned it before me cut his springs down instead of buying aftermarket springs.....cheap ba$tard. Probably not your problem, but just to let you know it could be a few different things.

All the shocks do is stop the springs from bouncing. I suspect it's the spring itself.

Take care

hey i cut my front stock springs so am i a cheap ba$tard too? yah i guess so

most fox stangs you see wont sit perfectly straight, alot of them sag in the rear and look like crap, i guess the rear springs wear out easily, im guessing yours are worn pretty bad, just get some aftermarket ones, im sure thats the problem, either that or a bent control arm (unlikely)

take a look underneath and if nothing looks broken or bent then get some new springs, might as well get some shocks too if yours are original, they're not too expensive for the rear

My car has new springs and adjustable ride height lower control arms. With both control arms adjusted to the same setting, the car sits lopsided, one side lower than the other. I have no idea why. If you figure out whats wrong with yours, let me know.

Thanks for your help. Think the spring is just worn out. Doesn't look broke or anything like that. Can't see where anyone cut the springs down either. O'yeah and all the springs are turned in the same direction. I guess ur right, if I replace the springs, might as well replace the shocks too. Hey Mach1, how close to Albany are ya. You ever go to Us 19 and race?
